> so I wrote Resume Fodder (https://resumefodder.com) as an open source alternative.

But JSON Resume is entirely open source already: https://github.com/jsonresume

Why not simple add a Word output to the existing project? You also created a new schema, which is almost the same, but not quite.

I don't understand the purpose of re-inventing the wheel here. The other project has dozens of contributors, I'm going to assume it stays up to date more.

--- Edit: I see your product does actually integrate with theirs. Still seems like it could have all been one product, though. I don't understand what you mean by "an open source alternative."

I agree with what you say. These days I see a lot of projects which could've simply benefited both themselves and others by contributing code to the original project which they re-implemented.
