Hey, congrats on the momentum! Side projects that find their own legs are the best kind.

Just curious - if you're looking into any kind of automation down the line (LinkedIn outreach, etc), I'd recommend staying away from cloud-based tools.

LinkedIn's getting really good at detecting datacenter IPs and non-human browser fingerprints. I built ZenMode after seeing too many people get banned by cloud tools - it runs locally on your desktop using Electron/Puppeteer with your actual Chrome profile and home IP, so LinkedIn just sees normal browsing behavior. We're seeing 32% acceptance rates because it looks completely human.

Thanks jal505, appreciate this and you’re absolutely right, LinkedIn is getting scarily good at spotting anything non-human Funny enough, I’ve been so deep in the launch chaos (barely sleeping ) that i almost forgot i even wrote this to Hacker News too.

I am thinking along similar lines though - less “bot-like automation” and more indistinguishable-from-human behavior. Magine’s approach is to adapt dynamically rather than rely on static fingerprints, but yeah… this space is turning into a cat-and-mouse game in itself
