Browser extension

The extension adds one button to a job posting. Pressing it sends that posting to your own local Sumisura as a Job Listing — the same save path as pasting it by hand.

It works on LinkedIn (/jobs/*) and Indeed (/viewjob*).

The extension is not in any store yet (that is planned for the hosted version). Load it unpacked:

Chrome / Chromium

  1. Download sumisura-extension-vX.Y.Z.zip from the latest release and unzip it — or use the extension/ directory of your checkout.
  2. Open chrome://extensions, enable Developer mode.
  3. Load unpacked, and select that directory.

Firefox

  1. Open about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox.
  2. Load Temporary Add-on…, and select manifest.json inside the directory. Firefox drops temporary add-ons on restart.

It reads the job posting on the tab you are looking at — title, company, location, and the description, converted to Markdown — and POSTs it to http://localhost:8080. Nothing is sent anywhere else: there is no server behind the extension, no analytics, and no account.

It only acts when you press the button. It does not read pages in the background, and it holds no credentials.

The button reports its own failures in place. The usual causes:

  • Sumisura is not running (docker compose up).
  • The posting is behind a login wall, or rendered in a layout the extractor does not recognise — paste the description into the app instead.
