Hi folks, I'm excited to share my first full solo project - Pollen for LinkedIn! If you use LinkedIn, you'll know the problem Pollen is solving - you have hundreds (or thousands) of connections, but you can't remember who the hell they are, or why you ever connected to them. Did you meet them at that conference two years ago? Didn't you say you'd definitely follow-up?? Pollen solves this problem, and does a whole lot more; it allows you to start organizing your professional network: - Tags - Create and add tags to profiles, use them across your network - Private notes - Add private notes for each connection - Reminders - Add reminders to individual profiles - Local storage - All your data stays private and secure on your device There's no data sharing with LinkedIn - all information is stored locally, and your notes and tags are completely private. There's not even a sign-up form - just add the extension to Chrome and get started. All feedback is very welcome - I'd love to continue improving Pollen and making it as useful as possible. Thanks for your support!

@paul_a_smith Love what you’ve built with Pollen! Quick thought, could AI help suggest tags or reminders based on past interactions? That might make it even more intuitive!

Really nice idea and lightweight execution and I love the privacy first focus with the local storage. Are there any plans to make the data a bit more queryable, so for example if I logged that I met someone at a certain event a while ago, I could chat to Pollen and tell it I’m going to said event again, and it could suggest everyone I should get in touch with?

@djmckee thanks for the support! Great idea. I'm keen to introduce semantic search to notes, which is obviously very doable with GAI now, but it's supper early; I want to make sure the notes (and tags) are initially useful before I double-down on their functionality.

@paul_a_smith that makes sense! Yeah tagging could be a great stopgap, but would be a great testbed for a local-running LLM experiment eventually 😎

🥰 Is it just me or is all SoMe innovation happening on LinkedIn at the moment?

@sentry_co what else have you seen? Would love to see what else is happening! Any recommendations?

@paul_a_smith I might be in an echo chamber here on PH. Since it's very SaaSy as of late. And linkedin is very popular with SaaS startups for getting clients etc. Im low key on this for now. Too afraid to use the AI batch apps I feel like they will land me in LinkedIn jail 😅. But I do use this Linkedin tool Getprospect.com (it just uses scraped LI data and finds emails etc) # Babysteps 👶

@sentry_co Trying hard to avoid LinkedIn jail with this - deliberately staying away from scraping and any functionality that lifts from Sales Navigator etc. Keen to stay privacy-focussed, but appreciate there's a world of APIs that can make life more interesting.

@paul_a_smith Yeah. I like the product position with this. Just add AI and I think it will be pretty close to how we all will be adding more context to linkedin in the future.

pretty good idea!!! i wonder if besides the extension i cuold have that data elsewhere because lets say im on the move and im only with my phone without the extension and i need to see some linkedin notes... how can i do that?

@rupgo Hey Ruben! Obviously there's no way to push the functionality into walled apps... but there's definitely a way to do it; the challenge is ensuring the data stays private to you alone. But it's worth looking at!

@paul_a_smith that feature for my would be the killer one making this app of my daily use! :) I hope you figure this out in the near feature

I love it. I'm at a conference RIGHT NOW, and I've used this for the past 2 days to ensure those new connections have useful context in future. I'd love be able to grab a list of people tagged with something specific, either on demand and downloadable or via an API call in future.

@martynd Hey Martyn! Thanks so much for your support! There's a basic first version of tagged lists already in there; try clicking on a tag you've added to a profile, and you should find everyone else tagged with it. This is obviously a bit janky, since there currently isn't another way to initiate a search - but that's this weekend's job ☺️

@martynd ok, got a visual fix for this that I'll push at the weekend; tl;dr tags associated with more than one profile will display a "group" icon. Lets see what you think!
Oliver Stafurik
Goddamn, I will finally be able to add a sticker "pushy agency spammy person" to my connections to filter them out. Love it.

@oliverstafurik YES OLIVER! Hadn't thought about filtering - but in the future, some "suggested" tags with a little intelligence would be interesting ☺️
Lukas Kemkes
Very excited, can't wait to check it out! Will it be possible to export all my data, e.g. so I can analyze it in Google Sheets?
Paul Smith

@lukas_kemkes Hi Lukas! That functionality is already available! Try pinning the Pollen extension to your toolbar - there's a menu inside which shows reminders due and other features, such as export to .csv ☺️
