The Chrome Web Store rounds user counts down to the leading digit, so the user line moves in steps. The ratings count is exact and is the better signal of real adoption.
About Github Viewer for LinkedIn
Features:
- Auto-runs when viewing a user's page on LinkedIn, retrieves their README and repos from Github via the GraphQL API, and renders them on the page
- Auto-guesses the user's Github username from their LinkedIn profile
Note: Current implementation is simple; the extension gets the github url from the 'Contact Info' section of the user's LinkedIn page. If no url is found, it shows 'Not found'. Future implementation will be a bit exhaustive by including a search page with the user's name, and an option to search a github username/url directly
Roadmap:
- show search page: textbox, auto-search user's name (+use regex to extract username if url)
- browser cache
- toggle auto-load on/off
- show loading image
- tests
- api/server cache
- port to firefox/other browsers
