The problem it solves

Sharing timely news on LinkedIn means checking your sources constantly and manually formatting and posting each update. If you're busy, you miss the window and the news is old by the time you post it.

Who it fits

A content creator, publisher, or company page that wants to share news on LinkedIn without watching feeds all day.

How it works

  1. The system checks a news RSS feed every hour
  2. Each new article is reformatted into a LinkedIn-friendly post
  3. The post is published to LinkedIn automatically
What you get

News posts published without copying links

New articles from your news feed get reformatted and posted straight to your LinkedIn profile every hour.

What you get

A steady stream of timely news posts published automatically to LinkedIn.

What you need

A LinkedIn account and access to an RSS feed.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.
