Crosspost to LinkedIn
It would be kind of cool if it was possible to CrossPost to LinkedIn articles as well. Not sure if it would be better implemented as a separate project (or if the API's even support it..)
I would do it separately. Do you know where the API docs are?

As best I can tell from a quick google, it seems like it doesn't appear to be something they expose as a public API :(
- https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/guide/v2/shares/articles-api
- Only has retrieve/delete type endpoints
- https://www.quora.com/Can-I-schedule-LinkedIn-pulse-posts-automatically-through-software-like-Hootsuite
- Says no
- https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30592163/linkedin-api-pulse-share
- Has basically hacked around it to do it through the Web UI automagically
Realistically, it's probably not all that hard of a workflow to do manually. Was playing with things yesterday, and it seems that I can write my post, use this (or the import tool) to send it to medium, clean it up there, then copy all of that and paste into LinkedIn basically verbatim, give it a final once over, then publish.
I kept having Ruby/Jekyll issues when upgrading my Mac, so I have moved off of Jekyll and will not be working on this project anymore, going forward. I am going to flag this as won’t fix, but leave it open in case someone else wants to pick up the project from here.
