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.

Chat limits now count entire conversations, not individual messages

We changed how your chat usage is counted so it’s based on conversations started rather than each message sent. This makes limits clearer and fairer, with a friendly message if you hit your limit.

Instead of counting every message you send, we now track how many conversations you start. This means you can send unlimited messages within a single conversation without worrying about hitting message limits quickly.

We also added some helpful changes: if you try to start a new conversation but have hit your limit, you’ll see a clear, friendly message letting you know the chat is temporarily unavailable. Plus, if you quickly tap to start chats by mistake, we make sure it doesn’t count multiple times.

This new way of counting resets monthly and includes a 24-hour window to continue conversations without adding to your count. All together, these updates give you a smoother and more understandable chat experience.
