This post details a small but important change in how we generate content for sharing on LinkedIn, focusing on aligning the tone with the platform's user experience.
The primary goal was to shift the voice of automatically generated LinkedIn share posts to a first-person perspective. Since the posts are published from the user's profile, using "I" instead of third-person references
The devlog-ist/landing project focuses on creating landing pages and managing content for various platforms. This post details the addition of an independent LinkedIn random mode for post generation.

A potential vulnerability arises when users not yet
This update introduces an enhanced referral program with tiered commissions, seamless Dev.to integration, and updated terms and conditions to reflect these changes.
The referral program has been expanded with the addition of a dedicated landing page, complete with details about the program, commission rates, and automated tools.
This article discusses a common issue in applications using GitHub OAuth for authentication: inadvertently overwriting a user's existing token with one that has fewer permissions. We'll explore how to ensure the application preserves the user's original, broader-scoped token when requesting narrower scopes during subsequent logins.
