I vouch for this

My resume has been backed by JSON resume for ages. Great little project, though I'm not sure how maintained it is these days.

Agree that JSON Resume is a great project. I had looked into the project before building this and they have been an inspiration.

it's cool, you host your json on a github gist and it's available online

that said my resume is not working anymore, even though the gist is still there. I wonder if others have the same issue.

The creator here, can help you out. I moved it all to vercel functions running on node 18. Broke a bunch of themes in the process.

Oh ok, is there a list of working ones ?

thanks and good luck

I updated the themes page a couple weeks ago -> https://jsonresume.org/themes/

But I could also try resurrect the theme that you were using.

I've used this for my personal web-resume. Pretty good!

I still maintain the project, currently rebuilding a lot of the infrastructure.

Ive been having fun integrating AI stuff into it. Going to polish them more soon.

https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis/jobs <- this is purely a prototype i built on the weekend, it uses vector databases to match your resume to Who is Hiring hn post.

https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis/interview <- this one preprompts your resume so you can interview yourself

https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.letter <- Cover Letter (attempts to write a cover letter that matches your resume)

https://registry.jsonresume.org/thomasdavis.suggest <- Resume Suggestions (it asks ChatGPT to give precide feedback for improvements you could make to your resume)

Omg, Thomas, great to meet you virtually. Your JSON Resume project is epic and has been an inspiration to this project. Look forward to the exciting updates upcoming

Great work. Resume parsing is hard business. I've been using https://turbo.build/repo in recent projects, looking through your setup, it would probably be worth checking out.
Re:Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser by xitang on Sunday June 25, 2023 @08:43PM (#36474272)
Thanks for your kind words and for sharing about the turbo repo. I will look more into it next
Re:Show HN: Open-source resume builder and parser by pratio on Sunday June 25, 2023 @11:35PM (#36475473)
Amazing, Looking forward to the new updates. Huge fan of jsonresume and your work in general.

Nice, using a language model AI is the perfect tool to simulate interviews and generate cover letters. Good stuff.

I wonder how many companies actually use LLMs for what they're good at instead of jumping onto the AI hype with random use-cases where anything is possible.

Oh I love this project. It made maintaining my CV tolerable. Here's mine, in case anyone wants to see what a finished article looks like: http://geoff-clayton-cv.s3-website-eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/ (not currently looking for work though).

I used `sed` in the build pipeline to change the page title on the html version (see line 16 here: https://github.com/jefc1111/cv/blob/master/.github/workflows...). I expect there is a better way though.

I love JSON Resume. I even built a project leveraging it!
