I got sick of updating multiple things so my lab website (in Quarto) renders my CV to both html and PDF. Quarto allows multiple output formats in the YAML. I keep my pubs in a csv to pull for a pubs page and the CV so that there's only 1 place to update. Padlab.ucr.edu

Once I had to use Adobe acrobat pro to convert PDF to word for a submission. It worked surprisingly well for a final step but it's not something I'd want to make a habit of. Now I will usually pick RMarkdown or Quarto since they can output to LaTeX PDF or Word from the same source

I just shared with two fantastic outgoing staff members. One has been running ema studies in my lab for the last two years!

this was using formr.org which we found difficult to get working with SMS texting. in current work we're using Expiwell in some projects and homebaked stuff with REDCap in others. i've been meaning to give Inclivio another try, it looks great
