Pretty cool and well presented.

I have concerned with any of the gallery items that advertise 'scraping' of Linkedin data. You might want to keep that on the down-low.

IMNAL but I'm pretty sure that's grounds for getting you shut down.

It may violate the TOS of Linkedin, causing them to shut you (and your users) out. Shutting them down though, I expect that's a way higher bar than some web scraping.

It evokes memories of the yt-download fiaso, in which the application was removed from Github for showing examples of downloading specific material from Youtube.
