Feature request: Linkedin picture #70

Open harrisonlo opened 6 years ago

First of all, awesome work! This is exactly what I was looking for, simple yet effective avatar implementation.

I think adding Linkedin profile picture reference would make this perfect. There are only a few big social networks that people maintain pictures on, and Linkedin is the last that hasn't been implemented!

I tried to find an open solution for LinkedIn, but at the moment there is no way (that I know of) to fetch a LinkedIn user profile image based on a LinkedIn user ID. The problem is that you need to use the LinkedIn API to fetch this kind of info. And to be able to query the API you need an API key which would make this component less plug and play.

Let me know if you know about any open endpoints to do this and I would happily implement this.
