This is so cool!

I think Resume.Ink is different because it generates a new PDF resume tailored specifically to the job you're applying to. While JSON Resume generates a cover letter. I think they actually complement each other quite well.

Yeah my bad, I just tried to delete my comment but too late.

My useful feedback;

  - I thought the UX was broken when there was no next button after answering questions

  - It would be great if the homepage showed a real example (real JD, real before and after) 

  - There was a bug in my upload (Thomas Davis pdf if you are looking at the database). It hallucinated a whole job I've never had into my finished resume.
Don't worry, I'm pretty sure someone will find your comment useful

Thanks for the feedback: 1. You're right, the UX can use some improvements there 2. I've just updated the landing page with a before/after example 3. Ooh, that's not good, thanks for reporting this, I'll look into it asap

I'm also working on a similar feature, it's simple but complicated too "merge" information in when using GPT's. I imagine you've encountered it too. If I say I have an array of interests ['music', 'gardening', 'racing'], and a GPT replies ['music', 'gardening', 'racing', 'competitive driving'], you don't want additive synonyms. And then more complicated is deletions, if it replies, ['gardening', 'racing', 'skydiving'], does that mean I want to remove 'music' or did it just forget to include it in the response so should I just merge the old and new array.

I'm probably going to open source a llm-structured-data-merge-thingy library (that has different merge strategies) in the near future.

Yeah, it's pretty complicated. I didn't really solve it, but I'd be interested to see how you do it.
