yooo

may I seek some feedback for my website? I'm not sure if it functions well enough as a professional portfolio or if I should just move my projects and contact sections to an entirely different CV-like page. https://cheztervargas.com
#
lecaseus
oh and don't look at my mobile version, I haven't fixed it yet 😓
#
boredgargoyle
I’ve never met another gargoyle 🙂
#
lecaseus
what do you mean
#
boredgargoyle
lecaseus[d]: This was for excitedgargoyle
#
lecaseus
my bad lol
#
boredgargoyle
lecaseus[d]: Functions well enough on the phone. As for feedback… look up a job that you want and time how long it takes you find keywords mentioned in the job post

[aciccarello]
lecaseus, I like the theme!
#
[aciccarello]
I think it's helpful to have a separate professionally focused page, even if it's completely integrated into the site
#
lecaseus
boredgargoyle[d]: I see hmm, so basically it should be easy for recruiters to skim through and know what I'm about
#
[aciccarello]
Yeah, like a clear "Work" or "Resume" section. Especially with some of the smaller monospace fonts I could see a recruiter in a rush not finding the "projects" section for example.
#
lecaseus
[aciccarello] thank you! A separate page would look cleaner to be honest, but I'm having a dilemma whether I should move my projects and contact section over or have them in both pages which might be redundant?
#
[aciccarello]
I don't think it's entirely redundant if the format/layout is different. In that situation, I try to have both pages render from the same set of data so I don't have to think about both too much.
#
lecaseus
That's true.. Anyway, thank you to you both! I'll have to ponder a bit more on this.

#
[capjamesg]
Haha getting a head start 😄
#
[tantek]

#
[capjamesg]
Oh wow haha I didn’t realise the TRON post was added a minute after midnight 😂
#
[capjamesg]
That was one of the first things I read today.
#
[capjamesg]
Maybe the first thing.

Please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Christof, and I work on an ActivityPub system for professional networking: ProFed. For the import of profiles, and also for presentation I use microformats. I'm looking for a place to discuss possible extensions, and more use cases in the context of ProFed. If this is not the best place for that, please point me to a better place.

christof: hi, i think you want #microformats channel
#
Loqi
friendly reminder christof, doesnm, it seems like this conversation is more appropriate for #indieweb-dev (ActivityPub, Microformats)

Though I'm very interested in what you're making
#
TheAndSys
Like not in a dev way
#
TheAndSys
Could you explain a little more?
#
[Al_Abut]
I googled it up: https://joinprofed.social
#
[Al_Abut]
Looks interesting, there’s definitely a hole in the ecosystem since http://read.cv went away.
#
doesnm
i usually use searx. So it's searxing instead of googling?
#
christof
the joinprofed website is a bit behiund the development, particularly the "status" page.
#
[Al_Abut]
I had to google up what searx was 🤣
#
[Al_Abut]
Yep! Looks pretty early.
#
christof
I didn't manage to update the webpage for a while. I should...

#
[Al_Abut]
Nah, don’t sweat it. Just focus on getting examples out the door for people to see, that’s the main thing I was searching for.
#
christof
The repository is https://codeberg.org/ProFed/ProFed
#
christof
@TheAndSys a short explanation is that big platform, that I avoid in public communication to not get into trouble, that starts with Linked and ends with In, but in good, open source, and with ActivityPub. There's a lot of nuance, of course, but that's the market segment.
#
[Al_Abut]
Yep, that comes across pretty clearly.

[Al_Abut]
But assuming you’re starting with a http://read.cv style “here’s a very clean readable single page that’s meant to be my online version of a resume that doesn’t suck like a PDF” then that’s the example I’d want to see personally before deciding whether to join.
#
[Al_Abut]
That's to unpack what I meant by “see some examples”
#
TheAndSys
That's iiinteresting

#

@[Al_Abut] well, that is not exactly what I'm trying to do. You'll have your CV page in ProFed for sure. But it is more about discussions with your professional peers, and also searching for new jobs, or candidates.
#
christof
Just a clean CV will not make anyone noticeit.

[tantek]
