Resume output looks much nicer than LinkedIn's PDF export
From 2 comments
Wow, that works really well. It looks a lot nicer than the default "save as pdf" option.
supermdguy on HNLinkedin has a built-in 'download as PDF' feature that still seems to exist. Doesn't create anything nearly as aesthetically pleasing as this - nice work.

Great project! This will be used by recruiters like myself. Only today I had to send an ugly Linkedin-PDF resume because an applicant didn't have anything else. I would have used…

Relies on LinkedIn HTML that may change and break the extension
From 2 comments
This looks really nice! Still, the geek in me is a bit unhappy. LinkedIn will change their HTML structure in the future, so this software will break. Fixing it is easy---if you…

Only one template style, not customizable enough

I highly recommend that you build out more boring themes. Software engineers need resumes too, and interesting looking ones are treated as an expression of creativity. But target…
kirillseva on HNVery cool! I've been wanting something like this ever since LinkedIn removed their export functionality. Only one problem... It only seems to be able to grab my most recent 2 job…

What wording did you change? I don't see any mention that you will be storing my email address?

kirillseva on HNGreat idea. In the past I’ve used high dpi screenshots and way too much time in photoshop to edit my LinkedIn page into a printable format that feels just like LinkedIn but…
yodon on HNCool, I've just tried. But it produce 'İ' letter instead of 'I'. A little more template options also would be great.

Works surprisingly well. Just one issue, since I just graduated, I do not have a whole lot of work experience so the generated resume looks empty. It would be awesome if you…

Word or .docx export
From 2 comments
I'd list the type of output formats on the landing page. .doc/.docx are mandatory for me to look at any resume generator.
shyn3 on HNI really like it, but it would be good to have an editable version beyond just the text, either with a Microsoft Word or HTML/CSS. It would be good to be able to tinker around…

LinkedIn's built-in resume assistant and PDF export

Just so you know, LinkedIn released something similar: https://blog.linkedin.com/2018/february/7/rock-your-resume-with-resume-assistant-from-linkedin-microsoft
bacharu on HNDoesn't LinkedIn already have this feature? I've used it a few times.
dalore on HNWow, that works really well. It looks a lot nicer than the default "save as pdf" option.

Creddle.io

FWIW I've been a happy creddle.io user for a few years. I (used to at least) let me import data from LinkedIn and use it to create a custom cv.
