I like to reason about a lot of things chronologically, and I thought it'd be cool to have a tool that can ingest raw data and construct visually appealing visualizations from them automagically.

- Create a headless scraper that can log into LinkedIn and access profiles automatically
- Snap "job bubbles" to a grid, making it more visually appealing
- Support a horizontal display mode
