We were expecting continuity πŸ˜†. You didn't say you finally closed Linvo, you didn't say when you started with Nuvo. More details about Linvo scrapper would have been nice. But hey, you've done great for yourself πŸ‘πŸΎ

I was surprised that there wasn't more story after Linvo went open-source.

It's partially open-source :)
Only the scraping part.
And I just did it a day ago πŸ˜†
So I can't share a lot of findings

Scraping break Linkedin T&S, you can see big companies came around anyway like:
expandi.io, linkedhelper.com.

Linkedin can't sue automation but they can block.

On the other hand, it looks like they are not fighting automation like facebook and instagram, I guess it brings business after all.

The scraping is easy, having to deal with blocking is hard.

The big deal here is that you risked and used failed projects as opportunity for future. Most people have fears on risks and the changes over their daily routines. Bravo!
