Summary
LinkedIn widened its connected-apps feature, letting members link everyday software to profiles so apps can publish activity-based skill statements and “Top User” badges.
Each description is generated from real product usage and updates dynamically, while LinkedIn said it does not access broader app activity beyond what partners provide.
The expansion builds on earlier tie-ups with Descript, Duolingo, Lovable, Relay.app and Replit, and now adds more tools for members to display validated expertise.
More than 1 million members have already connected apps, a push LinkedIn ties to rising proof-of-work behavior as project and product posts on the platform climbed 4.5 times year over year.
