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.

Easier to share and faster to use with a new chat widget

We've added a helpful chat widget you can embed anywhere, made pages load quicker, and improved how your profile shows up when shared.

Now you can add a friendly chat box to your site that streams answers, suggests questions, and even collects emails—all easy to set up and manage from your dashboard. It's designed to only work where you want it, keeping things secure.

We've also made your pages load faster, so everything feels snappier when you use the app. Plus, your profile and other content will show up nicely with the right info when someone clicks or shares your links.

Finally, we tidied up the chat look by placing citations below messages and fixed a few little bugs to make your experience smoother.
