Show HN: MIT OSS LinkedIn DMs for Agents (CLI and Example TUI)

I was tired of paying $100s/mo to access data I should own -- my own DMs on social media -- so I built Allman, a local-first cli to access linkedin messenger.

Starting with LinkedIn, I gave the entire compiled js binary of linkedin's web app to claudecode and reversed engineered the entire messenger inbox in 24 hours. My goal is to bring this to all messengers so AI can handle all of this busywork, just like it can my email.

I had also never built a TUI so I had claudecode build me one based on top of the local CLI and filesystem.

Full repos:

Their sharding / access is brutal, so it'll likely break as-is -- but the point is that Reverse Engineering is trivial now (and can do it dynamically through browser access and dynamic playwright -- thanks Browserbase! ).

Would love to hear your feedback and what I should build on it next.

Shoutout to Eric Allman.
