Resume builder scripts

README.md

Super simple 'server' for rendering HTML from an index.html.erb file, and a data.yml file.

The instance variable to use in the ERB file is just @data. Then you can do things like @data.contact.email.

I just update the file, it's re-generated every second, and I refresh the browser when there's changes I want to see.

Caveats:

1. If there's a problem with the command, it's just a blank screen, but the terminal will show you what's going on (usually malformed YAML).
2. Sometimes when refreshing it's blank, I think because it's writing the file the same time you're trying to read it. Refreshing again fixes it.
