I'm not looking for insane privacy, just some reassurance that the engineers are at considering privacy.

This is great. I've never had the time to learn how bookmarklets work, but your tool just let me make a simple one in under a minute.

How are you doing LinkedIn import? We had it at https://standardresume.co, but lost it when they closed off the developer API.

Great job! this is a harder problem to solve than most people would imagine.

this is really cool! the lack of explanation and any privacy statements makes me somewhat nervous though. reminders can be somewhat personal.

The things I have made that I am most proud of are:

* https://standardresume.co/ - Started because I couldn't find a resume that I liked.

* https://amplitudeapp.com/ - A more advanced artist radio style playlist maker.

* http://rediscover.rile.yt/ - Automatically save Spotify discover weekly playlists.

Here is a helpful tool I made for anyone considering moving to Canada!

This is a useful tool for people considering a move to Canada :)

It looks like the entire Canadian immigration website is currently down...

Does https://standardresume.co/ meet your needs? It might be a little bit closer to a resume than a website, but it could easily be combined with a more personal single page website.

I have posted both Standard Resume [0] and Amplitude [1]. Neither received much feedback or traffic from Hacker News, but Standard Resume was added to Product Hunt [2] by someone else and got substantial traffic and signups.

Standard Resume now has over 15k users and is still growing with only minor updates and fixes based on feedback. It doesn't make any money.

I have a TN and I would like to learn more about the legality of passive income forms like advertising, affiliates, etc. Where or who is the right place to get info on this? Thanks!

All comments and feedback welcome :)

Amplitude

Interactive music discovery. Amplitude tries to get a feel for your current mood and then gives you a 30 song playlist that you can save to Spotify.

Spotify's discover weekly is great, but you only get one playlist a week. The radios are a great idea, but I found them to far to repetitive and playing very mainstream music I'v already heard. Amplitude sits somewhere in the middle.

i couldnt agree with this more. i think most things related to diversity are currently being approached with far to much emphasis on short term and not nearly enough on the long term.

I also couldn't be happier watching linkedin fall. I recently deleted my account because of all the spam and creepy things linkedin does and they still send me emails!

I couldn't agree more. I have used react-router for 3 side projects now, each time with a new interface and no real benefit over the last version, not to mention more outdated docs and advice.

It doesn't have to be for just engineers. It just seems like most competitors to large services like linkedin start by targeting a specific group. The purpose of engineers networking amongst each other would be for referrals, which are arguably more important than recruiters reaching out to random people.

I would consider paying for the service, but not much (and im not sure many other people would). You definitely have a good point here. I'm not sure how you could make money without having the recruiters as your customers, which would put you back in the same bad place as linkedin. Maybe something along the lines of tying it to the refarral bonuses people are getting?

$0, but my most successful is definitely standardresume.co.

I'd be interested to hear how people with profitable side projects went from side project to profitability.

I meant as an easy way to check in on previous coworkers for things like referrals. People you aren't on a facebook or phone number level with, but don't want to forget about.

Do you not find that the recruiter noise gets in the way of keeping in touch with people you know though?

Yes. Here is a sample link: http://www.rsm.io/json/dana-andrews

Heads up: build failing + dependencies out of date.

The date ranges have been extended all the way back to 1970.

Don't most people use templates for their resumes? From our initial research with hiring managers and recruiters, they valued readability and scanability over fancy design and customization, which is why we chose to go with one, very well designed and easy to read style.

Hey Hacker News, we’ve been working on this prototype for a while and would love to get some early feedback from you guys. If you have a minute, please click through, try it out and let us know what you think.

the amount of boilerplate reduced by marionette, even if used just for view management, is very substantial and shouldnt be overlooked.

The better question is why are they using QR codes??

Just click "View in iTunes" button.
