custom-linkedin-cv

At the time of writing, this project is a basic working prototype which is only a few hours old.

I treat my LinkedIn profile as a living Résumé, but sometimes I'm asked to format this information in a more traditional way.

Doing this is a _real chore involving a lot of copy and paste and manual formatting — so I created this in an effort to lighten the load a little.

Current behaviour

• Embed the LinkedIn JavaScript API.
• Prompt user to authorise this application access to your LinkedIn profile data.
• Fetch LinkedIn profile as JSON.
• Use AngularJS to display the profile as a very basic HTML Document.

Known issues

• Your authenticated session with LinkedIn is not currently persisted between full-page reloads. (I think this may be because I've only run it over http rather than https so far, LinkedIn's docs mention this).

TODO

• Stabilising, refactoring, unit tests.
• Finish the default theme.
• Implement a convenient way for the community to contribute custom designs. (Ideally via something like bower install custom-linkedin-<name> and modifying this project's Grunt Task).
