📖 Detailed Usage Guide

Setting Up

If you are starting with your first post, you can load a sample via the button under the editor.

Use the toolbar for formatting.

Saving Posts

1. Click "Save snippet"
2. Add a descriptive title (max 50 chars)

Posting on LinkedIn

1. Compose or load a snippet. Side-by-side is really nice in Edge!

💾 Snippet Management

Action	How To
Save	Click "Save snippet" after writing
Load	Click snippet name in table
Delete	Click "Delete" button next to snippet
Export	Click "Export" to download all snippets
Import	Click "Import" to upload snippets (handles de-duping)

🏷️ Hashtags

Simple LinkedIn Composer automatically detects hashtags in your post and tallies them in the hashtag organizer. The number of occurrences in your post is counted to give you insight into your own usage. You can sort by name or frequency of use (count). Clicking ➕ inserts the hashtag at the cursor in the editor. Clicking the LinkedIn icon opens its context on LinkedIn.

🔒 Privacy & Data

There are no server communications, no cloud syncs, no tracking mechanisms, no cookies, no ads, etc.

Everything stays in your browser's local storage.

This tool is entirely free to use. Please see the very permissive MIT license for details.

Enjoy it!

Development

I am keeping this intentionally simple: just markup, script, and style. Change what you want, refresh the browser, done. This could be done in TypeScript and Sass along with build tools, etc., but then it becomes more involved than I think it needs to be. That would make much more sense if this was a more complex web app.
