Resume in JSON 🤓
A few years ago I discovered jsonresume, a very promising project aimed to provide a json-schema to write a resume.
I immediately got excited and I wrote 2 templates for that: 👨🏼💻
- jsonresume-stackoverflow-theme: code and demo which I am proud of 🕺
- another one that I actually don't like anymore 😆
My first handcrafted resume template 🌟
The StackOverflow template was my first resume written using web technologies and it has some popularity, I got contributions and features requests. I use it myself as my resume and a bunch of my friends use it too. However, the schema is not very flexible and the last iteration was done 5 years ago json-resume-schema.
The current stack to write a template for json-resume is quite old too: Handlebars.js.
Need for a rewrite 😎
My idea is to fully rewrite my StackOverflow template, (maybe the json-schema too, but this is another story) using different technologies, the most reasonable that come to my mind are:
- React
- Custom Elements
HELP ❤️
- Is anyone interested in that project?
- Which technologies to do you advice me to choose and why?

Thank you so much for pointing me to this!
Just yesterday I got an idea of having my resume in a kind of a structured data format. Shame I already wasted a night developing something that already exists though.
You’re welcome.
You didn’t waste time, that is the life of a developer!
Thank you for motivation. I needed this idea. I think to do something like this just with elements of portfolio/personal website which you can print/download as cv. So for me I think to use Js+NodeJs or Js+C/PHP
I've been using the StackOverflow theme when sharing my resume due to loading errors with the Elegant theme periodically. While migrating my blog I wondered why I didn't include it in the samples. I guess it wasn't out yet?
Very nice! I'd be willing to contribute

probably it was not available by that time, I would be more than happy to have contributors, there are open issues actually
Very interesting idea, I was just looking for something like that. Congrats on your work, but I think I'll keep looking for something based on markdown.
Thanks Paulo, I will look into that alternative too.
I just have some doubts about md:
Hi! I am not an expert, but I think you're right. Using MD you'll not have an "standard object" to rely on.
By the way, I think you can use some conventions, for example: the first link (#) could be always the header, and something like that
But it was just an idea man, congrats on your work again. It's awesome
Thanks!
Thanks
I was just now thinking about doing this with gatsby.
