Extension summary
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
