I needed one place to write, schedule, and look back on my LinkedIn posts. Free tools only did one of those jobs, so I designed and built LinkedWin over a weekend.
What I built
- A composer built around how I write. Its insert bar holds the symbols and structures I use most, plus saved footers, @mentions, and multiple pinned comments.
- A post library that reconciles four data sources. LinkedIn and Favikon use different IDs for the same post, so the tool matches them by caption and date. Estimated numbers are labeled as estimates.
- One shared database for every host. Local SQLite split production data between Vercel and the worker, so I moved both onto Turso and made silent failures throw errors instead.
Results
| ~53 hours | 7 sections | 702 posts |
|---|---|---|
| Empty project to production | Overview, Calendar, Composer, Library, Data, Radar, and Engage | Four sources, one library |
The auto-repost bot works, but it stays off. A banned LinkedIn account would cost more than any bot saves.
