Show HN: A Self-Hosted LinkedIn Profile
A developer created a self-hosted version of a LinkedIn profile, allowing users to host their professional profile on their own infrastructure instead of relying on LinkedIn's platform.
Background
LinkedIn is a Microsoft-owned professional social network with over 1 billion users. It serves as a de facto public résumé and social graph for many professionals, but it also aggressively pushes algorithmic feeds, paid subscriptions (Premium), data collection, and ads. This leads many privacy-conscious or anti-corporate tech users to look for alternatives. "Self-hosted" means running your own software on your own server, giving you full control over your data and how it's presented — the opposite of relying on a centralized platform. A "self-hosted LinkedIn profile" would aim to replicate the core function of displaying career history and connections without the tracking, algorithm, or network effects that keep people locked into LinkedIn itself.
