Cool. I used to make my resume in LaTeX but that got tedious. I like the idea that this might make it easy to customize resumes. And try out different formats easily.

Maybe play around with having OpenAI convert existing resumes into the yaml format to make it easier to try out.

Actually I am planning to integrate AI to generate this kind of YAML first and then convert it to PDF.

The idea:

1. apply strict schema validation to YAML so AI won't generate wrong/invalid data 2. write prompt to AI help people generate a sample YAMLResume 3. adopt AI to parse existing PDF or images and convert it to YAMLResume format

Well I'm just suggesting first because most people already have a resume and it will be tedious for them to convert it to yaml.
