Show HN: Adaptive Feed Reader – read your LinkedIn feed like Hacker News

Adaptive Feed Reader is a browser extension that reformats LinkedIn's feed into a text-based, Hacker News-style layout for easier skimming and reading.

Background

- Adaptive Feed Reader is a browser extension (for Chrome, likely) that reformats LinkedIn's algorithmic feed to look like Hacker News' simple, chronological, text-only layout. - Hacker News (HN) is a popular tech news aggregator run by Y Combinator, known for its minimal design: headlines, upvote buttons, comment links — no images or infinite scroll. - The "Show HN" tag means the developer is presenting their own project to the HN community; it's a convention on Hacker News for personal projects and side projects. - LinkedIn's feed is algorithmically curated, image-heavy, and designed to maximize engagement; many professionals find it noisy, distracting, or full of low-value "inspirational" posts. This extension strips all that away and presents posts as a clean list, letting users browse "cold" like they would on HN.
