Q: Have you wrote more than ten(10) resumes in your lifetime?
Q: Have you edited your resumes ever since?
Q: What year you did you receive your college degree?
Q: Looking for your resume on your computer and it is nowhere to be found?

If you believe you have those questions on your mind, maybe it is time for you to take a short break and think

resume1.pub, resume-new.docx, resume-latest.docx, myresume

Almost a year ago, I wrote an article for the dev and non-dev person to help them easily create their own online portfolio in just a few minutes.The process was basically forking a repository and editing JSON file which was structured based on json-resume. Setting up is breeze!

   // Sample JSON-Resume
    {
    "basics": {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "label": "developer",
      "image": "https://user-images.githubusercontent.com/...",
      "email": "johndoe@gmail.com",
      "phone": "(111) 333-4567",
      "website": "http://johndoe.com",
      "summary": "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consecte...",
      "location": {
        "address": "22111 Makiling",
        "postalCode": "4027",
        "city": "Calamba",
        "countryCode": "PH",
        "region": "Philippines"
      }
    }
  }

Though using a json-resume offers a lot of benefits, it might not be suitable for some instance and there could be a much better approach that will work for you in certain cases. After all, getting started with json-resume is easy. So why not try?

Writing your first JSON-RESUME

Resume in Github

1.) Fork 🍴this boiler plate to your account by clicking the "Use this template" button on the repository page

2.) Write about.me on the repository name

⚠️ Make sure that your repository name is set to about.me. Otherwise, you will receive a profile not found message

3.) Update index.json with your personal information (you can do this later)

Other Version Control Platform

Create a repository and name it about.me
In the recently created repository, make a new file index.json
Go to this webpage and copy all the content
Paste the content to index.json then save

Testing

Go to https://me-web.now.sh/[ 👨your_github_username_here] to check if everything is working

While browsing and reading articles here in DEV, I found this interesting hackathon on my feed and started to read some resources and amazing ideas/projects of other developers around the globe for this API so called web monetization. The docs is straight forward but sadly I'm having a hard time for searching a website that actually use a web monetization. So..... heres what I did!

What I built

💸 I built a very... very... very... simple npm package to let you easily check if a certain website is web monetized

https://webmonetization.org/

Submission Category:

Foundational Technology

Demo

You can easily try the tool by installing it globally and running it on your terminal

Installation

  npm install is-web-monetized

Usage (via CLI)

  monetized https://testwebmonetization.com/demo.html

💡 I want to show it in table format. what do you think?

Usage (as dependency)

  const { isWebMonetized } from 'is-web-monetized'
  const url = 'example.com'

  isWebMonetized(url).then(obj => {
    /*
      {
        monetized <boolean>,
        url <url>,
        content <wallet>,
      }
    */
    console.log(obj)
  }).catch(err => console.log(err))

What is Web Monetization ?

You can check if the website uses the Web Monetization API without going to the website.

💡 Node module MUST be installed globally

  npm install is-web-monetized -g

In your terminal, run monetized [URL]

  monetized example.com

or using as a dependency

  const { isWebMonetized } from 'is-web-monetized'
  const url = 'example.com'
  isWebMonetized(url).then(obj => {
    /*
      {
        monetized <boolean>,
        url <url>,
        content <wallet>,
      }
    */
    console.log(obj)
  }).catch(err => console.

How I built it

If you recall, I said SIMPLE and it is!. This tool is basically just reads the monetization meta in a website

I sent a dashboard via curl

Disclaimer: I am one of the members of tracker-cli team

I've been using blessed-contrib for creating an interactive dashboard and its really cool! It has many widgets to play and much faster to integrate than implementing my own blessed components. However, to make it visible to someones screen, they need to clone the repository, or install via npm, etc.. etc.. And for me, doing it for 3 or more projects within the day is exhausting. IMHO, its not always necessary to make everything interactive

And so... we want it to be different!

We send a static blessed dashboard via CURL. Yes you heard it right CURL! We implemented it on covid19-tracker-cli and its awesome (well maybe just in my viewpoint? 😄)

Try it on your terminal

   curl -L dev.covid19.trackercli.com/history/charts/us

   curl -L dev.covid19.trackercli.com/history/charts/us/md

Note: It's currently available in dev branch.

Update: you can now view the latest stat directly in your browser

Portfolio generator built with NextJS + JSON Resume

kenabella — Sat, 25 Apr 2020 06:30:59 +0000

Github Repository: https://github.com/jkga/me

If you are unfamiliar with JSON Resume, it is an open source initiative to create a JSON-based standard for resumes. It allows us to share our personal information to someone else without worrying the actual design, just links and texts. It also been used by hundreds or even thousands of online resume generators out there where you can just download things in PDF format.

But is it enough? The answer is: Well it depends.

Nowadays, a lot of recruiters are not just looking on your resume. They also look on the projects you created or contributed to. They are looking on our personal website! But there is a really big problem, do we have one? I bet there are so many developers that have no personal site, either because of time constraints or have no interest at all.

Now this is how this project is trying to solve. Providing you something that is ready to use and only requires a few minutes to set up, customizable (not WYSIWYG), and could be deploy on your own hosting provider.

Let's welcome "ME" ! A next-gen JAMSTACK template for developers that leverage the use of JSON Resume in creating a web based vitae and portfolio. It is built on top of nextJS and react semantic ui

"Me" as a service. What?!

There is a ready made portfolio that isa accessible on this website. Just make sure you do the following

Go to this repository
Look for the green button "Use this as a template"
Name your repo about.me (UPDATE: your jsonresume will now work even without renaming the forked repository, but we still recommend doing so)
Visit https://me-web.now.sh/your-github-username-here
Have some tea!

💡 For those who are trying to view their profile after they forked the json-resume-template. Make sure you rename it to about.me otherwise your profile will not be visible.

As a template

Are you are someone who preferred to work on scratch or minimum boiler plate? Don!t worry, you can modify existing layout and even create a new pluggable template. You can also use other react-ui framework as you wish

Please follow the docs for instructions or send me a private message to guide you

PS: ❤️ ❤️ Just want to thank you all who showed interest in my project! Wishing you a good and very productive day!
