SlavaPost

Turn Slava Tykhonov's public LinkedIn newsletter editions into .textpack archives that import directly into Omnighost (and Ulysses).

From an iPhone

1. Open Actions → Import LinkedIn post → Run workflow.
2. Paste a public LinkedIn article URL into post_url.
3. Tap Run workflow.
4. Download the .textpack from the run's Artifacts section.

The workflow also commits the canonical Markdown, downloaded images, metadata, and TextPack to posts/<slug>/, then creates or updates the Ghost post by slug. Immediate publication is the default; choose draft in the run form when review is desirable.

Automatic newsletter check

Check Slava newsletter runs daily and follows article links discoverable from the configured seed edition. If it finds an edition not already under posts/, it imports, publishes, and commits it. Its default status is controlled by publish_status in config.json.

Direct publication requires repository Actions secrets named GHOST_ADMIN_URL and GHOST_ADMIN_API_KEY.

LinkedIn sometimes changes its public HTML or blocks unattended requests. A blocked fetch fails visibly instead of creating a partial post; paste the URL into the manual workflow and retry later.

Omnighost format

Each archive is a zipped TextBundle:

<slug>.textbundle/
  text.markdown
  info.json
  assets/*

info.json contains TextBundle v2 fields plus Omnighost metadata. By default the destination blog is querygraph.ai; override it in the manual workflow.

Local use

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt
python scripts/linkedin_textpack.py \
  "https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/..." \
  --blog querygraph.ai

The importer only reads public pages. It does not store LinkedIn cookies, passwords, or session tokens.
