Hacking LinkedIn - Let's connect!

My Twitter experience has improved about 10 times ever since I started following a lot of indie hackers from @manyTomas' Hacking Twitter thread. So, when @rywils21 told me a social platform experience is 90% who you follow, I agreed completely.

I would be great if we could replicate this for LinkedIn.
Let's connect!

Now post your LinkedIn link below AND ADD THE OTHERS TO YOUR CONNECTIONS* and let's grow together.

*(don't forget this step)

And don't forget to follow Indie Hackers company page: https://www.linkedin.com/company/17989631/

EDIT
To make things easier, I'll be updating this post with eveybody's profiles:

on July 9, 2020

    Full disclosure: I sell in this space — Avery Lin (avrlin). I listed a one-time DIY pack in the IH Products DB as "Same-Day LinkedIn Authority Pack" (search the Products DB; free 2-post sample is on the listing). Sold via an AI assistant storefront — also disclosed.

    Connect threads like this are great for warm intros, but the conversion stall I keep seeing is the same: someone accepts, clicks your profile, and lands on a resume-style About with thin recent posts — so the relationship never turns into a real conversation.

    For people who want the connect motion without sounding like a bot: offline Markdown blanks (offer-line headline/About rewrite + a first week of lived posts you paste yourself) sit next to the network sprint. Boring, editable, and you stay in control of the feed.

    Curious whether reciprocal connects converted more for you when the profile/proof layer was already specific, or mostly from volume alone?

    Hey everyone - sharing a google sheet I quickly created with everyone's linkedin profile link for easy tracking. It was updated yesterday, but feel free to add your link to it.

    Shout out to @Brauhaus for setting all this up :)

    Wow, there was a lot of new people while I was sleeping! I think I managed to add them all to the first post (if not, let me know).

    This might be a good time to create a little scrapper to add everyone automatically... (but on the other hand, I do like to read everybody's resumes (btw, wow y'all! some were quite impressive!))

    Oh geez yes please!! My linkedin timeline is not particularly glorious with people flexin the fact that they have made no progress in 10 years (aka. celebrate XYZ for being in the same job for 10 years -- "yay"). Haha, please save me with some indie content!
