    I’ve actually made the switch over to Typst[0] for my app [1]. I’ve previously used a quick jinja .tex template that then just pasted things in, but LaTeX can really throw some strange errors and overall handling the files was a hassle. Typst was much easier to setup and the function-based operation meant that sending variables in was a breeze with better error handling there too. Also, I just grok the syntax a lot better. Just another option for folks looking to redo their resumes/not use Latex. [0] https://typst.app [1] https://resgen.app.

  2. A JSON-based standard for resumes

    Mine is also automated, but a lot more lightweight. I, like OP, use JSON Resume [1]. Besides that I just have a Github Action which creates a PDF and also updates a web-based version [2] hosted in AWS S3. My favourite thing about this setup is if I want to make a small change I can just log into Github and commit a quick edit in the repo [3] through Github's web-based UI, with a new PDF being generated and the web-based version being updated automatically.

    Dropping a link/endorsement for quarto : https://quarto.org/ It's a static site/document generator that supports bibliographies, jupyter notebooks, and good old fashioned markdown. It works well for complex academic resumes and CV's, as well as blogs and library documentation. I use a template for my website : https://jjd.io/ github repo : <a href="https://github.com/jdonaldson/jjd.io">https://github.com/jdonaldson/jjd.io</a> Also, if anyone has any positive/negative comments on my site, let er rip! I'm still working on it.
