Nice look and feel, useful way to present a developer profile

Awesome work. I've been wishing something like this existed for a while now.
richo on HNIt has a nice look and feel.
kushalashok on HNBrilliant. It's the best resume generator based on GitHub I've seen so far.

Objections
Only lists the author's own GitHub repos, missing contributions to other projects and hosts
From 4 comments
This is very nice, but it has the same flaw that most of the github résumé generators have: it only lists my own projects, not those from other people or organizations to which I…
perlgeek on HNnor does it show all the work done off github. Work at code.google.com or sourceforge.net or the myriad of other places someone might be doing great work. For example…
greggman on HNIt would be nice if the resume included popular projects the user has contributed to.
bochi on HNAgreed. I've submitted lots of pull requests and taken over a small, popular project but none of it shows up.

Not really a résumé, more a portfolio; GitHub focus is questionable
From 2 comments
This is a portfolio, not a resume.
scott_s on HNThis is a nice tool but I don't get the obsession with github. Surely resumes should be about what you worked on and how it went rather than where you host it? People use other…

Broken or buggy in places (NaN dates, loading errors, IE failures)
From 4 comments
Love the idea! Usually when I send my "resume" to people it's just a short email with a link to github and my blog. This does in fact look much better than a vanilla github…
Swizec on HNI'm seeing "member since NaN" and "created NaN" on iPad. Cool stuff :D
kvnn on HNWeird... every sample link flashes the resume then shows 'ut oh :(' in IE9 and IE10... Odd, since I'm not seeing anything on this that would explain this technical limitation.
BobPalmer on HNNice work! In some résumé, the organisation section is continuously loading (maybe a bug when it's empty?)

Include Stack Overflow or other external work
From 2 comments
What if you could also include some work from the users SO profile?

Alternatively, an additional section could be "These are the projects I've been working on recently", an aggregate of recent activity. (Commits, pull requests & comments from…

Questions
Can you see contributions to other projects via the API?
From 2 comments
Very nice, I was thinking of this in the shower (of course) today. Is there any way to see my contributions to other projects? This is honestly a feature I would pay for.

Alternatives named
Personal GitHub portfolio repos and similar résumé templates

I have something similar, though it's more like a GitHub portfolio than a resume: https://github.com/dideler/projects You can view it in action: http://dennisideler.com/projects
reledi on HNIt's weird how it looks very similar to mine: http://resume.korokithakis.net/ We probably both stole the theme from the same place and I can't remember.
StavrosK on HNLike other people here, I have also created a resume that uses the Github API. It's nothing special, just an example of how easy it is to make something like this.…
wldlyinaccurate on HNLooks like Matt Brown's resume template: http://thingsthatarebrown.com/blog/2009/05/sample-resume-template/
