That's because some people have dozens of skills, and I couldn't put them all on. I added that to show there are more. It can be left if desired, otherwise you can click the edit button and delete the brackets and periods.

That's one of the top things on my list!

I was having trouble pulling the projects from the profiles, so I pushed it to the side while I got everything else working. Now I'm going to focus on getting projects in, as well as a few new themes

There was (is?)... but it just spits out a super plain resume you can't do much with. My plan with this is to make it super customization, and make themes tailored to a bunch of different professions.

That's one thing I really want to improve...

So right now it's grabbing your entire profile, but then it deletes the oldest entries to get everything to fit on one page.

I'm planning on making it so you can pick and choose what goes on it instead of it doing it automatically.

I want to be open about collecting emails. Honestly I have no plan for them... maybe an update newsletter... on my last resume site I made, I think I sent 1 email in the 3 years I had the list of active users.

But I also don't want to just slap something on the home page saying that I collect emails - there's not really any place for it to fit in the design.

I do have it clearly on the TOS and FAQ pages though. I changed the wording on the homepage so people wouldn't think I'm not collecting anything.

Hmm. Strange error. That Uncaught TypeError is unrelated. That happens when you click any element on the page because I removed a ton of the LinkedIn code and haven't been able to figure out where that's coming from yet, but it shouldn't affect how it works.

How many jobs do you have on your profile? Is it only not showing the first (newest/current) job? Or is it not showing your first job as in first on your profile (oldest)?

When it loads, it places everything onto the resume, then checks the height to make sure it'll fit on a single page, and if it doesn't fit, it removes items until it does fit.

So it looks to me like it removed your oldest job on your profile to get it to fit. I'm planning on making it more customizable - let people choose which items to remove to make it fit.

But also yes! I too have a bunch of projects I usually include on my resume, so I will definitely work on grabbing projects and getting them onto the resume.

Hmm. I'll have to read into that more.

I don't use any external libraries, I wrote all of the code in the extension, and the only external requests made outside of the extension are to Google Fonts, so I wonder if it'd be possible to infect this extension.

Exactly. That was the hardest part of making this extension... trying to decide what to strip off of peoples' profiles to get it to fit on a single page.

Thanks! I created everything from scratch.

I actually decided to get away from all frameworks for the landing page. It's just simple HTML, Javascript/jQuery, and CSS/LESS.

Sorry, can't help with that ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

But I agree!

That's #1 on my to-do list right now.

I just started sharing this around publicly today. I haven't been working on it for long, and just finished working out some major bugs on it last night. I wanted to know if this was something people liked and would use before spending a ton of time making themes.

The themes I have now are basically just general themes with no specific profession/purpose in mind. But yeah, I'll definitely be adding more themes in the coming days, some of which will be tailored to different professions.

Thanks! I've actually done something similar in the past. I made ineedaresu.me a few years ago (and have since sold it)... but after launching that, I had a few different schools and organizations contact me wanting custom resume generators styled how they like, with custom themes, fields, etc.

This extension is basically the start of a recreation of ineedaresu.me. I'll be working on a full resume generator next that doesn't rely on LinkedIn.

What is it about third-party extensions you don't like?

I know many extensions have full access to any site you visit, but I specified LinkedIn for mine, so when you install it, you are warned that it can access all your data on LinkedIn, but no other sites.
