Great idea. I've thought to do LaTeX to PDF resume tool. But YAML to PDF is much better. The only feature I miss, is possibility to convert YAML to PDF from CLI (globally installed npm package, or Docker image). This way, it will be possible to have YAML in GitHub repository and export it to PDF on each modification using GitHub Actions. Then up to date PDF resume will always be available on GitHub.

Thank you. This is certainly possible. The library I'm using for rendering the PDF (https://react-pdf.org/) does support Node.js as well. This is a good point, I suppose a lot of people will have their resumes in GitHub.
