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.

New users and longtime friends get handy demo content on their dashboard

Monday, December 29, 2025·1 min read

Now everyone, even if you signed up a while ago, will see example projects, clients, and lead forms the first time you visit your dashboard. This helps you get started and explore features easily.

If you joined before we added demo content, you might have missed out on seeing sample projects and forms to play with. We've fixed that so now, no matter when you signed up, you'll get helpful demo content right on your dashboard the first time you visit it each session.

This means you can explore how things work without starting from scratch. Plus, it only checks once per visit so things stay quick and smooth for you.
