Notes

• Only works with public LinkedIn posts that contain video.
• No authentication or API keys needed.
• Zero external dependencies — built entirely with Go's standard library.
• Videos are downloaded from LinkedIn's CDN (dms.licdn.com) at the best available quality.
• Downloads use a temporary .tmp file and rename on completion — safe to interrupt without leaving corrupt files.
• Output filename is derived from the post URL slug (truncated to 80 chars).
• If a file with the same name already exists, the download is skipped to avoid overwriting.
• Progress bar is shown during download with percentage, downloaded size, and total size.
