darn, i was going to create something like this. nice to see that the idea was actually followed-through with, though. i probably wouldn't have.

one thing i'd like to see is a simple json api so that designers/developers can pull their (or perhaps any) resume data and style it how they like (or whatever they want to do with it)

Have you seen https://represent.io?

Hey I dig this idea!

The sign up was relatively easy as was the importing of linkedin info.

After signing up I saw the resume edit page and entered in some basic info (like job title, contact info) and I was a little confused where to go afterwards, so I hit live view on the top far right and didn't see anything, so I tried to go back and then all my resume data was gone and I didn't see an action that would let me re-import the linkedin data again.

I also tried to click on the top left 'standard resume' text with expectation that it would take me back out a step so I can try and redo this whole process but that wasn't clickable.

I felt the positioning of the logout button was a little out of place as well, I would have never guessed it would be at the very bottom to the right. Does this positioning change at all if I'm on a different area of the site or will that logout always be at the bottom right?

I also didn't recognize the icons on the right of the resume data entry page were clickable menu items, they just seemed to be floating icons on the right for aesthetic initially. I would personally recommend keeping the text below the icons visible and then making the hover state something that inspires me to click it.

These are just my first impressions right off the bat, I didn't really dig any deeper than that as I've got a meeting in 10 minutes!

Beautiful work, applauds.

Looks great, only piece of feedback would be to reduce the text size and increase the page width when printing so that it fits on one page.

I would like the ability to download as a PDF. Also, I am currently working on my portfolio website, and having the ability to integrate this onto a Resume page would work nicely. Thanks and good luck!

I dig it! Looks great. Very scannable. One thing that came to mind if you need any more brainstorming on where this could go -- Looking at this was something I wrote awhile ago:

http://ninjasandrobots.com/writing-a-cover-letter

I think most people creating resumes don't fail so much at the resume part as they fail at the cover letter part. They fail at communicating something that isn't obvious. They state "I'm made with real eggs" and they are a breakfast sandwich. Of course you're made with real eggs; you are an egg sandwich. Use the space to tell me something interesting and surprising about yourself.

People also fail at testimonials. The biggest reason I hire people is when someone else says something nice about them. But most people stick a "references on request" at the bottom of resumes. That's terrible! Testimonials should be at the top of your resume or cover letter.

I'm only mentioning that because that's where I think people need the most help, and could your solution help with that?

Maybe your resume could have a beautiful pull quote or two at the top for testimonials. Or a place at the top to call out what should be in a cover letter (e.g. a better Objective area). A short paragraph of your story, and how you're different. The anecdote that tells me how different you are than everyone else. The paragraph about how you surprised everyone in your last job, know one thought you could pull off XYZ, but you did, and you got a promotion for it. That kind of thing. Because really, most people hiring don't want to read the resume.

I really like this application. I was discussing building an online resume maker with my business partner only a few days ago. This idea is well executed. I enjoy the design, very stark, makes it suitable for most industries.

I had trouble getting it to work right. Just a little bug heads up. I signed up and it prompted me to import the info from LInkedIn so I did and updated all my info, but then I was unable to publish and now it didn't save my input and I can't get back to importing from LInkedIn. Hope this helps. Other than that I think it's a sweet idea, looks very clean, nice and focuses on the most important.

Not sure if anyone else mentioned this, but when I clicked print, I noticed the contact information did not appear on the page (in the chrome print preview). Windows 7, chrome Version 41.0.2272.118 m

I think the section headers are slightly difficult to read, but that may be the point. I love the site simplicity. Awesome work.

Very slick. And just in time for me; I've been putting it off forever. Another competitor you should check out is http://jsonresume.org.

It's executed a bit differently (you build and run the server and host the JSON-stored resume directly - it's all-inclusive) and doesn't have LinkedIn import abilities, but the array of themes is vast and community-contributable (is that a word?). Since you're getting early feedback I'm betting themes are already on your TODO.

One more print bug is with the tags/skills boxes: if the layout is arranged so they begin at the bottom of page one and there are enough (in my case four rows because I'm excessive), they will span to the next page but get cut off in the page one bottom and page two top margins.

Great work! Thanks for sharing with us.

Looks awesome. I wish that there were custom fields though (I am in academia and published articles are very important).

Major problem: I can't publish my details, console logs show this error:
