LinkedIn Formatter 1.2.0

LinkedIn has no bold button. Every bold-looking post is a Unicode trick, and when an AI drafts your post you end up asking it again and again to bold one word. This extension ends that loop.

The post lives in a plain .linkedin file. A LinkedIn card renders beside the editor and updates on every keystroke, whether you typed it or your AI did. Select text in the card, click bold, and the file now holds the real Unicode characters. Copy, paste into LinkedIn, done.

What is in it

• A live preview card that mirrors LinkedIn's feed, matched to your editor theme. In 1.2.0 the preview follows the active tab.
• Styling from the card itself: 18 Unicode letterform styles plus strikethrough and underline, emoji, clear formatting, undo.
• Type straight into the card like a word processor, every keystroke landing in the file as real Unicode.
• A character counter that counts the way LinkedIn does (UTF-16 units).
• Zero network calls: no telemetry, no analytics, no requests of any kind.
