Questions about rebuilding PerfectPost: makes Linkedin 10x better

How does LinkedIn text formatting (bold/italic) work technically?

LinkedIn doesn't support native Markdown, so extensions convert standard characters into mathematical Unicode equivalents (like 𝗯𝗼𝗹𝗱 or π˜ͺ𝘡𝘒𝘭π˜ͺ𝘀) before inserting them into the post box.

Will LinkedIn ban my account for using a custom extension?

No, because the extension only assists with in-browser formatting and draft generation rather than automated mass-scraping or bot interactions.

Can I save post drafts for later?

Yes, drafts can be saved locally via chrome.storage or synced across devices using a Supabase database.
