Ask HN: LinkedIn Distraction-Free Extension?

1 pointleonagano2 comments

I'm thinking of building another extension to make Linkedin distraction-free and more pleasant to navigate.

I noticed most of the time, I'm focused on my feed rather than the right and left blocks.

Prototype here: https://twitter.com/leonagano/status/1253034869921325064?s=20

What do you think? Any other things I should consider?

Personally I only use LinkedIn to get in touch with recruiters and be reachable and completely disregard the feed or any of the other Facebook-like bullshit they're trying to implement.

My workflow is to disable all e-mail notifications except those for incoming messages so that I receive an e-mail if someone messages me (and I can reply directly by e-mail too).

I've been accessing LinkedIn via Safari on both macOS and iOS and using https://1blocker.com to block feed and notifications. Rules are synced on iCloud and applied in all devices. So far has been working well for a couple years.
