Interesting, I created two similar projects:

1. markdown resume:

- https://leftium.com/resume

- plain-text version is human-friendly: https://leftium.com/resume?text

- also renders OK on Github: https://github.com/Leftium/leftium.com/blob/main/src/routes/...

- PDF version is produced by printing from browser. (Try Cmd-P)

---

2. invoice generator

- Uses shell scripts instead of make

- Uses weasyprint instead of wkhtmltopdf

---

Some samples would be nice. Curious how the default output settings look.

Nice. Yours seems to be only for promoting your own resume, right? Mine's a tool for a user to control, customize, and create their own, locally.

    Effectively the same. (If your project's resume.md had your details, would it prevent others from using it as a tool?)

    Steps for a user to create their own resume (locally):

    1. clone repo

    2. update the resume.md file

    3. run the server locally `npm run dev --open`

    4. print from browser (as PDF)

    - My version happens to contain a web server that serves the HTML resume (among other pages).

    - You can also preview the results in real-time as you edit the MD file.

    Compare to steps with your tool:

    1. clone repo

    2. update the resume.md file.

    3. run `make`

    (I omitted all the setup steps for the sake of comparing the major steps. I suppose if I added a makefile, the steps would be exactly the same.)
