I'm not criticising, I'm only trying to complement what you've already done. The buttons show an underline on Safari on OSX when they're hovered over. I'm working on it now, and will post a link with my fixes later on. Fantastic work, thanks so much!

#14If I were you I'd try reducing the word count as much as possible as well as applying a very very subtle background shade for each position to set them apart (or something similar to that).
Anyway, awesome stuff.

Thanks for the positive feedback! I can look at the CSS soon, but if you want to put in a pull request on Github that would also be appreciated!

I set up my resume[1] with PDF exports using Docverter. It takes Markdown or HTML and turns it into PDFs and Word docs. [1]: http://www.bugsplat.info/resume.html (Disclaimer: I also built Docverter)
this is a really well done project, did you build the whole app yourself? EDIT: I guess you just answered this :) awesome job, it looks amazing!

#18Because they say something meaningful, potentially, namely what you're relatively better or worse at, more or less experienced at. Without committing the sin of telling the world what your objectively absolute rating is in some supposedly global but in actuality undefined frame of reference.
Example: "I'm a 6/10 on Apples and an 8 on Oranges, and Bob over there says he's 9 on Apples and 1 on bananas. Turns out in actuality I'm way better at Apples than Bob, but Bob kicks most people's asses at bananas!"

#20Few things I noticed that could be improved. Your technical section isn't very clear on what the graphs mean. Do the bars mean the amount of time you've used that technology, the number of projects you've built with that technology, or your experience? It's creative, but it's hard for me to understand what they mean (especially relative to one another).
I also noticed that you didn't include a print CSS. Yeah, physical resumes are not great, but they won't go away for a while. It would be good to have a print CSS that replicates generally what print resumes looks like. Right now it doesn't look very good. It wouldn't be hard to fix.
On another design note, I think it would look better if the pill links didn't have a blue underline on hover.
