Convert my CV to be skill-based

My current CV lists my experience, and “core skills” to the side. It does not properly highlight the skills I have (and want to use); it uses work experience as a mediocre proxy.

A skill-based CV could be much more interesting. This could tie into Skills I have. The work experience would still be there, but perhaps secondary. (Hopefully it does not bring my CV to three pages, but it in all likelihood will.)

Create a new default Nanoc site template

When you run Nanoc’s create-site command, you get a web site that looks like it’s straight from the early 2010s — probably because it is. The HTML is not great, the CSS is quite dated, and the design is not mobile-friendly.¹¹1 In my defense, maybe that is because Nanoc is older than the iPhone. Nanoc is old. Ancient, even. But still relevant in 2024! 

A new default template could be useful. Or even a set of default templates that you could choose from: a minimal site (sort of what it generates now), or something more advanced like a personal web site with blog posts written in Markdown.
