Not open source and you require a subscription to run a scraper from the user's own device?

1) they go to your website, you have links to social websites like linkedin.
2) user goes to your linkedin page and there's no single person associated with it.
conclusion: using "internet best practices" it sounds like a scam to me. so in a forum like HN i would expected you could open source it _or_ tell who you are, what data is being sent and collected, etc.
I'd like to use your thing but you must show a bit more goodwill first.
I've bookmarked your project and will keep a look on it. I don't mind paying for convenience if the product works but for now I'll just monitor and see how it develops.
I agree with the rest of your comment, but not sure this part is accurate. People pay for Microsoft Word or Photoshop etc., and then run them entirely on their own computer using their own computer's resources and network.
I made it a desktop app to avoid needing to run expensive cloud resources for scraping (which also includes IP proxies to get around bot detection limits). This would have meant a higher cost for the end user, which I absolutely did not want since it's targeting also unemployed people.
A lot of people have had that complaint and I'm considering building a cloud version with a higher price point, but not a priority right now.
