Client-side LinkedIn scraping via session cookies bypasses server tracking completely.

Strengths
  • •Reading your own session cookies avoids building a credential-harvesting backend.
  • •Zero telemetry architecture means the extension creator sees nothing you read.
  • •Claude integration infers tech stack from LinkedIn profile locally.
Weaknesses
  • •LinkedIn and X ToS violations could get user accounts flagged or banned.
  • •Relies on unstable internal APIs that change without notice.

Post Description

Fork of Hackertab (https://github.com/medyo/hackertab.dev). All sources fetch directly in your browser - nothing goes through a server.

LinkedIn and X work via your existing session cookies. Onboarding runs Claude (your claude.ai session) in the background to infer your stack from your LinkedIn profile. No credentials stored, no data leaves your machine.

LinkedIn, X, and Claude.ai technically restrict this kind of access — though it's your own data, in your own browser. Use at your own discretion.
