As a developer and creator, figuring out what actually drives engagement on social platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X usually requires hours of manual digging or expensive analytics tools.
To solve this, I built Statly, a Chrome extension that turns any Instagram, TikTok, or X account into a ranked report of what’s actually working.
Why I Built It
Most social analytics tools give you high-level vanity metrics, but they don't break down content performance at a granular level. I wanted a lightweight tool that lets you:
- Audit growth: Instantly see top-performing posts for any profile.
- Study competitors: Analyze viral formats before everyone else catches on.
- Zero friction: Works directly inside your browser without needing credential sharing.
Tech Stack
- Frontend: Vanilla JS / Chrome Extension API (V3)
- Backend: Node.js
- Payments: Lemon Squuezy

Most people think analytics tools are "nice-to-have", while in reality is a "must-have". Do you guys agree?
