Show HN: LinkedIn Mate – Find job opportunities hidden in the feed (opens in new tab)

My wife recently re-entered the job market and we noticed a frustrating trend: many of the roles are shared as regular status updates by recruiters rather than official listings in the Jobs tab.

I don't know why this became a practice, but they are very easy to miss, unlike the job listings with alerts and all kinds of search.

So I built this Chrome extension over a weekend to solve that problem. It tracks specific people or companies and captures those hidden opportunities from the feed.

## Technical / Privacy approach:

- Privacy-First: No data leaves the browser. Everything is stored locally.

- No Monetization: It’s free. I don’t believe in charging people who are currently out of work. No ads, no data selling.

- Classification: It uses simple keyword matching or optional AI classification.

- AI Implementation: If you want to use the AI features, you provide your own OpenAI API key. It's stored with local encryption and I’ve optimized the prompts so it usually costs less than $0.01 per day using gpt-3.5-turbo.

I'm looking for feedback on any features that would make the job hunt more manageable, in this brutal market conditions.
