It's no surprise that LinkedIn's codebase is a mess if you try to use the website, it's a complete nightmare. Say I see an interesting post, I click on the person who wrote it to learn more about them, then I press back to go back to the post and continue reading it - now the feed refreshed and I've lost the post.

Say I want to scroll back through messages I've received, I do that, the entire webpage starts lagging and takes 10-15 seconds to register inputs.

Why do I get 30 fake notifications? They are literally not real, made up rubbish to force interactions from people - it's disingenuous. The recommendation algorithm is also completely terrible.



considering they are owned my Microsoft, their windows app app is a technical marvel. It’s a crippled buggy version of their already too buggy web app. I understand why it was made, but I don’t understand why it was released. It doesn’t look good for either brand.


The thing about the notifications though, is you can turn off every single one of them in the settings.

When I tried to turn it off though, I was hit with 100s of different types of notifications. I generally like it when apps/sites do this. This way I can turn off the garbage i dont need, and keep the ones I want. But 90% of thosr categories were garbage. It is really shocking that one can take a good idea this far and make it frustating.


The notifications has long been totally useless.


Even jobs tab in each company page doesn’t work in ios for me. What’s the point of using it then?
