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 b…

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 …

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 di…

Comment #16330509
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 planni…

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 …

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 …

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 ar…

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 …

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 a…

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, yo…

I'm exploring with a sort of "theme engine" to let people make and style custom themes. It's not as easy as just using CSS, since each layout/theme reorganizes the actual sections …

Comment #16327821
I've thought about that... If things change and break, it should be pretty easy to fix as long as LinkedIn doesn't make massive changes... The extension just goes through the page …

Good point :) I changed the wording on the home page now. When I initially put the home page up, I wasn't collecting anything.

Yup. That's the issue. I'll have to make sure it checks for empty/short strings there.

Comment #16327282
Ah. Good catch. Do you have a really short summary/about paragraph under your picture? It looks like it's trying to read that and can't find it. I'll have to fix that.

Comment #16327079
Good idea. I do want to get more themes in, and a pure LinkedIn theme would be good to have. I'll work on it!

Comment #16326885
Thats the next thing I plan on doing. I made the site ineedaresu.me a few years ago, and I'm going to build something similar, but much better, based off what I have here.

That's the hardest part of making an online resume generator. No real way to generate a .doc/x... But good idea to let people know. I'll add it to the landing page.

I actually just started looking into porting it to Firefox. I haven't made any extensions for FF before - and this is my first Chrome extension as well - so I'm not sure how much w…
