A graph of my LinkedIn connections
I made a small tool that turns your LinkedIn connections into an Obsidian-style force graph - clusters of people grouped by company, role, or year, with you in the middle.
How to use it
- Export your connections from LinkedIn: Settings → Data Privacy → Get a copy of your data → tick Connections → wait for the email.
- Open the link above, drop in the
Connections.csv. - That’s it. Everything runs in your browser - nothing is uploaded.
You can switch the Group by dropdown to slice your network differently - by company, by extracted role keyword (Engineer / Founder / Sales / …), by year you connected, or by month/year. Hover for details. Click a person to open their profile.
Why
I came across Thanh-To’s linkedin-network-visualization - really cool idea, but it didn’t quite work with my real export and I wanted a few more grouping options. So I built one that does.
It’s just very interesting to see your network like this. The bubbles tell you a lot at a glance - which companies dominate your graph, where your year-by-year trajectory was densest, who’s an orphan and who’s part of a tribe.
If you try it, let me know what your graph looks like.
