Thanks.

I had an idea that a goos way to deal with resumes is to have a big personal organised data bank and generate job-application specific resumes from it. For example I might want to highlight or hide team leading experience based on the application.

I like what you are doing. I think resumes will be a reality for a while, but I see them as a transient throwaway missive, not a representation of me. So a way of talking 10mb of data about me and producing a 50kb resume per job is ideal. Eventually that will be all done in json of course.

That's interesting. Note that with Nectr the way it stands, you could do all of this. Just append .json to your public profile link and you get your profile in JSON. You can transform it anyway you like.

I'm planning on opening up our GraphQL API to profile owners too, so that you could edit your profile programmatically.
