Linkbeam is a basic extension that turns your linkedin usage into actionable data.
LinkBeam Extension
Linkbeam basically:
- provides some stats on the profiles you've visited and the posts you've seen in the feed;
- allows for the classification of the visited profiles in folders along with a tag feature;
- tracks posts on your feed to show you how they perform every time you've encountered them;
- sets reminders on posts and profiles;
- regroups all the media associated with the feed's posts in a unique interface for you to view and search;
- lets you freely import/export your data in json format;
- digs through your browsing history to give you some context for every posts in the feed with data such as all the previous related posts by tags and profiles associated;
- browses the feed for you when needed in a separate window and gives a succinct report;
- provides an immersive mode when going through the feed or viewing some profiles;
- detects posts' copycats based on linkedin feed browsing;
- saves quotes from feed posts;
- trains a ML model on feed browsing habit to predict next visit;
- creates a profile studio to compare and derive insights from various visited profiles;
- saves some notes on profile page for later;
- implements some basic profile versioning to detect profile updates;
Linkbeam doesn't:
- help in any ad marketing use cases;
- interact with any of linkedin APIs (only the browser DOM);
- send any of the data on a remote server (everything's stored locally);
Technically, Linkbeam makes a heavy use of libraries like ChartJS and D3 JS to display charts; Dexie JS for database operations; React JS for all the necessary interfaces and Bootstrap CSS plus Tailwind CSS for the look.
