LinkedIn Toggler

This project is a Selenium based automation that aims to help programming repetitive LinkedIn tasks. To do that, a script with the Selenium routines is provided together with a Dockerfile with a simple image that executes a crontab. For now, a single script has been implemented to turn on/off the #OpenToWork frame.

Please feel free to fork or contribute to this project. Keep in mind this is a personal project, feedback is more than welcome.
