Turning LinkedIn Data into a Nostr Identity — Milestone v1.4
With v1.4 of Continuum, I crossed a threshold I’ve been working toward for months:
✅ Import my LinkedIn data
✅ Extract the profile, positions, and skills
✅ Automatically generate a npub/nsec identity
✅ Create and publish a valid kind:0 event to Nostr
✅ Make the identity visible — and usable — in the Continuum dashboard
This isn’t just “federated identity.”
It’s data liberation.
I can now carry a representation of my professional profile outside the LinkedIn silo, sign and update it with my own key, and use it across any Nostr relay — or platform that respects open data.
The process:
- Export my LinkedIn ZIP
- Continuum parses the raw CSVs
- It generates a
profile.jsonand a newidentity.json(if one doesn’t exist) - It signs a
kind:0event with that identity’snsec - The event is published to multiple relays and visible on Primal, Snort, and more
- The identity appears in my Continuum dashboard — alongside my others
Even better — the import is idempotent. If the profile already exists, nothing is overwritten.
And yes — I still use LinkedIn. But now it’s a relay, not a prison.
This is just the beginning. Up next:
- LinkedIn article →
kind:30023 - A resume view in the dashboard
- Possibly zaps and notes from this identity
🔐 Sovereign identity.
🛠 Self-hosted infrastructure.
📡 Cross-protocol publishing.
Continuum is where it all connects.
