Idontuselinkedin.com

I've found that a lot of job applications these days required a LinkedIn URL, but they often don't validate that it is actually a LinkedIn URL. So, feel free to use this instead. I considered getting idontuselinked.in, but Porkbun let me know that the Indian registrar can be difficult to work with. I could be convinced to get it as well.

Idontuselinkedin.com launched on April 9, 2026 with 11 votes, #1,205 of 21,248 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches.

In plain words

Idontuselinkedin.com is a website that serves as an alternative URL for job applications requiring a LinkedIn profile link. Many application forms request a LinkedIn URL but do not validate whether the submitted link actually directs to LinkedIn. This site provides users who prefer not to use LinkedIn with a placeholder URL to fulfill such requirements.

    I have some friends who were laid off and are on the job hunt. We were all quite surprised to learn that LinkedIn does not have a "view jobs only at companies where I have connections", so I built https://jobsbyreferral.com/ It's powered by https://rapidapi.com/letscrape-6bRBa3QguO5/api/jsearch, which is a little pricey, so I'm trying to decide whether to put more effort into the project (I'd have to charge _something_ to offset the costs).

  • With social media and now AI, its important to keep the indie web alive. There are many people who write frequently. Blogosphere tries to highlight them by fetching the recent posts from personal blogs across many categories. There are two versions: Minimal (HN-inspired, fast, static): https://text.blogosphere.app/ Non-minimal: https://blogosphere.app/ If you don't find your blog (or your favorite ones), please add them. I will review and approve it.
