       | I have built something similar for myself, which I'll hopefully
       | publish some day. The stack is YAML, Sveltekit, Puppeteer.
       | Overall YAML makes adding content very easy and I can adapt the
       | schema to suit my needs if I need to.

       | Built my https://soft-wa.re/resume with https://jsonresume.org
       | 
       | I'm pretty happy with it. It needs some more work, and I would
       | like to do some preprocessing to tailor it based on the job. So
       | maybe if you go to https://soft-wa.re/resume?tech=python you get
       | my resume filtered for any python work.
       | 
       | I've also been thinking I could host for people. So maybe I host
       | Alices.soft-wa.re/resume or Bobs.soft-wa.re/resume. Any interest
       | in this?

       | I have a similar system that solely uses a github actions
       | workflow to build a jsonresume file into a latex pdf. I can make
       | different branches for different roles and have a link that
       | always directs people to the most up to date version of the
       | resume. Plus, anybody can fork it and use it with their own
       | resume without need for extra configuration or services.

       | doc. It generates and displays the PDF version on the fly. i.e.

       | I've also had Netlify generate a PDF of each build using
       | wkhtmltopdf, but there was some issue with fonts which I didn't
       | figure out at the time (it doesn't load them:
       | https://notpushk.in/cv.pdf) and can't had a chance to come back
       | and solve it once and for all.

         | You can use chrome with '--headless --print-to-pdf' instead of
         | wkhtmltopdf, it worked better when I last looked into this
         | around 2017-2018. Needed to generate a consistent pdf and
         | couldn't rely on the users browser because they might render
         | slightly differently depending on the browser.
         | 
         | Instead I ran a "microservice" that just took html and
         | generated PDF's using chrome, it worked pretty well.
