Hi HN,

I'd greatly appreciate any feedback on my online visual resume project. I'm being brief here in order to see how well my current landing page communicates the ideas that I want to convey :)

I'm most interested in three areas:

1. What do you think about the concept of a online visual resume?

2. How well does the current landing page communicate the idea to you?

3. What's one thing you would do to improve the current resume mockup?

Nowadays I'm endlessly hacking away at the backend but I decided it would be best to see how the idea holds up to scrutiny before I get ahead of myself.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate your help!

Interesting and I would like to see and understand more: - what is the meaning of this colorful plot? Especially, what is on the y-axis? - can you import data from linkedin? you should do, otherwise nobody will interesting in pimping up their resumes having to copy/paste everything once again but into a different format - I understand that you can describe this idea as "building infographics from your resume", if so you really should have a readable and workable example of such infographics to demonstrate its visual attractiveness.

Thanks mgl. The idea of the colorful plot is time on the x axis and intensity on the y axis. This will be dynamically generated based on an input list of experiences/skills and some drag and drop.

Good point about the linkedin import - that's going to be very important. I'll add it to my list.

Just updated the concept into more of a business card / resume hybrid.
