The only solution Stack Overflow has provided is to download your CV... as a PDF file 🤦‍♂️</p> <p>You can find some good options out there to retrieve your data and even get it back online:</p> <ul> <li>You can import your DevStory to <a href="https://www.filenewjob.com/candidates" rel="noopener noreferrer">File/New/Job</a> but you won't have a copy of your data and you have to register first :/</li> <li> <a href="https://developerstory.dev/stackoverflow" rel="noopener noreferrer">developerstory.dev</a> exports your DevStory as a generic JSON file but you have to authenticate with your Stack Overflow account first.</li> <li> <a href="https://devstory.fyi/" rel="noopener noreferrer">devstory.fyi</a> allows you to: <ul> <li>Download your DevStory as a JSON file (with the JSON Resume open-source format), but the downloaded JSON is not valid as is.</li> <li>Import your DevStory data to get an online version.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Finally, Manfred has developed <a href="https://www.getmanfred.com/stackoverflowgeddon" rel="noopener noreferrer">an open-source solution</a>.
