24 alternatives to Personal Site, and the Static Site Generator I Wrote to Build It
Hi HN, This one's a twofer. First, I'm showing off my personal site and blog, garrettgoss.com [1]. I'm looking to make a career change — from biomedical engineering/biomedical research, to research and development engineering in the consumer product development/additive manufacturing space — and felt that my prior work experience inadequately reflected my true interests and skills, which are better exemplified by my side projects. I put this together for myself, to better document my own work, for the broader internet, to share some of the projects I've developed to those who might…

Hello, my name is Caleb. I'm a product manager by trade, and have enjoyed working in/around the software industry over the past 15 years. I was most recently CEO & co-founder at Sensu (https://sensu.io), which was acquired by Sumo Logic in 2021 (https://sumologic.com), eventually resulting in an opportunity to explore "funemployment". I've met so many people over the course of my career who are interested in making websites – they even teach themselves HTML, CSS, and Javascript – but then they never end up making a website for one reason or another. I've watched some…

I built this mostly for myself, but I'd love any feedback on it :)

Rezume▲21Hi. I built rezume.page. Similar to any other student, I had assignments, deadlines, projects and everything else. Focusing on these didn't allow me to allocate time for the future. You can't get more hours in a day, but you can use the hours given to you more efficiently. Using Rezume, you can build your personal portfolio page (your Rezume page!), a well-formatted resume PDF, and a shareable link in bio, all at the same time. You can also use AI to automatically enhance your resume. Whether it's an internship, a job, or any other prospect, you're always prepared. Rezume is your link in…
