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.

Just shipped dark mode that actually respects your system preferences.

No more blinding white screens at 2am.

Building in public

Small feature. Big impact.

Today I added dark mode with automatic system preference detection. Respecting user preferences isn't just aesthetics - it's accessibility.

Ship fast. Learn faster. That's the indie hacker way.

Just shipped a feature I've been wanting for months - dark mode that actually remembers your preference.

Small win, but it feels good to scratch your own itch.
