Ask HN: Is my side project something you could use?

1 points by mjhouse ↗ HN
I've been working on a project that acts as a personal data store containing employment and related info (contact, references etc.). The main feature is that you can throw together custom views out of existing data very quickly and then serve them from a unique url.

The view is available in either plain HTML that prints (or prints-to-pdf) cleanly or as a JSON object that has all the same info.

Is this something that other people might use?

Do you have an example?
I don't have the site live yet, so there isn't anything you can interact with.

The idea is that you can have different views for different jobs, but all the data stays the same. So if you're looking for a system administration job, you might leave out some of your robotics experience. If you're applying for a position working with hardware, you might want to include it.

The views are created as you need them, deleted when you don't- and you can revoke access to them at any time by re-generating the url.
