I got tired of the performative culture on LinkedIn. The platform mostly feels like people just yapping at each other all day to farm engagement, so I decided to build a CLI tool to do the yapping for me. It's called Yappy (because we just yap yap yap).

It is an open-source Python TUI that automates your LinkedIn engagement directly from the command line. It logs in, reads your feed, and uses the Gemini API to generate context-aware comments and drop likes based on your prompt parameters. Everything runs completely in the terminal, so you never actually have to look at the feed yourself.

I know AI-generated comments and web scraping are controversial, and LinkedIn's TOS strictly prohibits this kind of automation. This is built purely as an experimental toy project and a proof-of-concept for integrating LLMs with terminal interfaces. If you actually decide to run it, definitely use a burner account, as LinkedIn will likely restrict you if you run it too aggressively.

I am mostly looking for technical feedback on the Python code architecture and the TUI implementation.

Would love to hear your thoughts. Roast my code or drop a PR if you find the concept funny.
