The registry doesn't like that your projects section has empty urls, you can just delete them and it should render.

I'm currently going through all 400 theme packages and getting the ones that look good and work (https://jsonresume-org-themes.vercel.app/themes)

The problem is I moved the registry to a serverless environment, and a lot of themes use to read from the file system which the vercel hosting doesn't like.

Anyway doing a half of the themes and registry so it should be much better very soon.

Thanks for the info. I emailed you before, but is there anything I can help develop for the new json-resume stuff? I notice the schema repo and other repos' main branches are being edited and developed.
