I launched a free Chrome extension that exports social media followers to a spreadsheet (100% local, no backend)

After getting tired of there being no way to export followers/connections from Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X, I built SocialPull — it exports them to CSV/Excel/JSON entirely in your browser. No account, no servers, nothing leaves your machine.

Tech: Manifest V3, runs on your own session, built-in rate-limit pacing, pause/resume for big lists. It's free and just went live on the Chrome Web Store.

Biggest lesson so far: [share one honest build challenge — e.g. "getting the pacing safe without being painfully slow"]. Happy to talk shop.

SocialPull

Hey all — I'm the developer. I kept needing to pull follower/following lists into a spreadsheet for audits and competitor research, and every tool either had no export or wanted me to paste a login into their cloud. So I built SocialPull.

What it does:

Exports followers, following, connections & posts from Instagram, LinkedIn, TikTok and X to CSV / Excel / JSON
Runs entirely in your browser using your own session — no backend, no account, no tracking
Built-in safe pacing + pause/resume for big lists

It's free (MV3). I'd really appreciate feedback from this sub on the approach — especially the pacing and which fields/platforms to add next.

Happy to answer anything about how it works under the hood.

I was spending 15 minutes finding a company's social profiles for outreach. Built a tool that does it in 1 second

If you do any kind of outreach, lead research, or competitor analysis, you know the pain:

Go to their website
Scroll to footer — maybe 2-3 social links there
Check the Contact page — maybe an email
Check the About page — maybe more links
Check team member bios — maybe personal LinkedIns
View page source — maybe hidden links

I automated all of that into a single click. My free Chrome extension scans the entire page and pulls every social media link and email address it finds. Supports 30+ platforms.

No signups, no data collection, completely free.

Been using it myself for client outreach and it's saved me hours every week. Thought it might help others here too.

Link in comments if anyone's interested (don't want this to feel spammy — genuinely just sharing something useful).

I built a free Chrome extension that finds every social media link and email on any webpage in one click — no data leaves your browser

Hey everyone! 👋

I just got my first extension Chrome extension called SocialScrape Pro approved on the Chrome Web Store and wanted to share the project with the community

Here's what it does:

Visit any website and click the extension icon
It instantly scans the entire page and finds all social media links (Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube, GitHub, TikTok and 30+ more platforms) plus email addresses, videos and other links
One-click copy or export everything as CSV/JSON

Why I built it (The Problem It Solves):

I was doing outreach for a project and spent 15+ minutes manually hunting for a company's social profiles across their website footer, About page, Contact page, team bios... it was painful. So I built a tool that does it in under 1 second.
