The Story Behind SocialKit
I'm Jonathan, the founder of SocialKit and the engineer who built it from the ground up.
I love creating useful, simple tools that make life easier.
You'll probably find me perfecting my espresso game or chasing a ball around a basketball or tennis court when I'm not deep in code. I'm a big fan of anything with a scoreboard.
I work full-time as a senior developer at a tech startup and spend a lot of my free time building side projects. In 2024-2025, I created and sold two products: LectureKit, a tool that made learning management easier, and CaptureKit, a screenshot API and web scraper API. These experiences taught me a lot about building things people want to use.
I'm driven by building tools that are simple to use, fast to set up, and reliable enough that you never have to think twice about them.
There's nothing better than hearing someone say, "This saved me hours", or seeing a product I created become a small part of someone else's success.
SocialKit was born from that same mindset, to take the hard stuff off your plate, so you can focus on building what matters.
What SocialKit Is For
SocialKit is built for developers, marketers, researchers, and content creators who need an easier way to analyze social media videos and extract meaningful insights, without the pain of building or maintaining complex infrastructure.
Instead of setting up multiple platform APIs, transcription services, and AI models, you simply provide a social media video URL and get comprehensive analysis including summaries, transcripts, engagement metrics, and more.
You can use SocialKit with a direct API call, through Zapier, or inside your favourite no-code platforms.
Our mission is to be the easiest and most reliable way to analyze social media content, so you can spend less time managing tools and more time building insights.
