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 tracking insights with consistent tracking URLs and click tracking visibility

All placement APIs now include tracking URLs for a seamless experience, and the click tracking card is always visible with helpful warnings if destinations aren’t set.

We’ve made it simpler to monitor your placements by including tracking URLs consistently across all API responses. Whether you’re listing placements or updating them, the tracking URLs are now always there, so you can keep a reliable eye on your campaign performance without missing a beat.

Clearer tracking visibility in the app
No more surprises when viewing placement details—the click tracking card is now always shown, even if the destination URL hasn’t been configured yet. This means you get immediate feedback and control over tracking regardless of setup status.

To make sure you’re never left guessing, we added a warning message when no destination URL is set, helping you spot incomplete placements before they go live. Plus, the API documentation has been updated to reflect these improvements, keeping everything straightforward and easy to use.
