What is build in public and why should I do it?

Building in public means sharing your development journey on social media as you build your product. It helps you grow an audience, get early feedback, build credibility, and create marketing momentum before you even launch.

How does Makrly generate posts from my commits?

When you push code to GitHub, Makrly reads your commit messages and code changes. Our AI analyzes what you built, filters out mundane commits, and generates engaging social media posts tailored for each platform.

Is my code safe? What permissions do you need?

Yes, your code is safe. We only request read-only access to your repositories. We can't modify your code, create branches, or make any changes. We only read commit messages and diffs to understand what you're building.

Can I use my own AI API key?

Yes! You can bring your own API key from OpenAI, Anthropic Claude, Google Gemini, or other providers through OpenRouter. This gives you full control over which AI model generates your posts.

Which platforms are supported?

Currently, Makrly generates posts optimized for X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and Facebook. Each platform gets a different version tailored to its audience and format.

Consistent URL handling ensures AI fixes appear reliably

AI-powered fixes now work smoothly because URLs are consistently processed, preventing mismatches that kept fixes from showing up in the widget. This update also improves security and reliability behind the scenes.

We’ve improved how URLs are handled throughout the AI auto-fix system to make sure fixes get stored and retrieved reliably. Previously, subtle differences like trailing slashes caused fixes to get lost, meaning the widget wouldn’t show them when you needed them most.

Reliable URL normalization
By standardizing URLs consistently across scanning, processing, and caching steps, this update makes sure the AI fixes line up perfectly with the way URLs are queried. That means you’ll see all your fixes without any getting lost due to minor URL formatting differences.

Enhanced security and stability
Beyond URL fixes, we’ve added safeguards against tricky security issues by validating selectors more carefully to block potential attacks from malformed inputs. Also, to make scheduled tasks more robust, we switched from storing deduplication data in memory to using a database-based lock system that works well even when the app is distributed.

All these changes combine to bring you more dependable AI assistance and a safer experience overall.
