FeedHacker

A local-first browser extension that clears the low-signal noise from your LinkedIn feed — and shows you exactly why each post was flagged.

FeedHacker brand lockup: the periodic-table-style Fh element mark beside the wordmark and the line “Mute the noise in your LinkedIn feed”.

The concept: a mixer for your feed

A Mute / Solo mixer hides what you are tired of — AI slop, promoted ads, engagement bait, hiring posts, corporate brand fluff. Solo just the topics you care about, add your own word, regex, hashtag or company filters, and what is left is a feed worth reading.

Why it works this way

  • Structure, not a word list. An on-device scorer reads each post’s structural tells, so it catches the shape of a low-signal post rather than a phrase somebody can reword.
  • It learns from you. It self-tunes from your corrections.
  • Every flag is explainable. The detection panel shows each signal, its learned weight, and the phrases that tripped it.
  • Nothing is deleted. A flagged post collapses to a one-line stub you can reopen.

How it keeps your data yours

  • One permission (storage) and one host.
  • Zero network requests — no account, no tracking, nothing sent to a server.
  • Built as a Chrome Manifest V3 extension in TypeScript.
