I stopped reading after the second animation. It is too annoying as a resume for recruitment.

As indication of skill it isn't much better either for me. I would expect any software dev to gobble this together given the number of available html presentation tools. If you want to show what you can do I'd rather see a bunch of github projects really. With readme properly documenting what it does and if possible a live example running somewhere.

This little thing could be in there if you really like. I would expect the Readme to state why you made it and what problem it solved or what you learned from it.



There are four slides. It takes 10 seconds to look through the entire thing. If you can't make it past the second slide before writing a three paragraph critique you are 100% not in my target audience. Not that there is no validity in your opinion somewhere but I'm not sure if you understand the point of the thing.


I looked at your project with my work hat on, I replied to this thread with a three paragraph reply with my HN community hat on.

I clicked through once more for you to find your github in slide 4. My comment stays the same, there is nothing in there that helps me select you over people that present their content in an easier to consume format.

On the content. In some countries pictures must be able to blacked out by law (I don't agree, yet it is truth). Your experience bullets do not say what you actually did. Would add where your worked and some 1-2 lines description per bullet on what you made/did there. If you were freelancing add your clients. It helps us understand what size of companies/codebases you worked. What complexity etc. Your word cloud is indeed hard to decipher. Slide 4 I saw github, which is good.

The title says online resume. I assume the audience is recruitment. Recruiters take seconds to scan if they want to spend minutes. In addition most recruiters will not forward this to people like me to see if they like to invite. If that means we are not your audience your resume works. Be aware you are limiting your own options as you now no longer have the choice to say no yourself (we decided that for you).

I stay with my earlier comment. Best to reverse the whole thing. Send your "actual" resume as you called it and add your github repo there. We will find this here.
