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.

Introducing a full-featured Developer API with easy key management

You can now create and manage API keys directly from the dashboard to securely access your account data and take actions through a new public Developer API with built-in rate limits and granular permissions.

We’re excited to launch a brand-new Developer API designed to give you greater control and flexibility when integrating BannerTrackr with your own tools and workflows.

Secure API Key Management
You can generate and manage API keys right from your dashboard, with options to create scoped keys that restrict access for added security. Each key supports rate limits tied to your subscription plan, so you can make sure your usage stays within your chosen tier without surprises.

Access and Control Your Data Programmatically
The Developer API offers endpoints to fetch your user information, manage your sites and placements, and retrieve detailed statistics. Pagination helps keep responses efficient even as you scale, and a clear set of scopes lets you decide whether a key should have read-only or read-write permissions.

Comprehensive Documentation and Dashboard Integration
Getting started is simple thanks to our new Developer API documentation, which walks you through key generation and usage. Plus, all API key management happens within your dashboard under a dedicated settings page, so you can easily monitor and adjust your keys without leaving BannerTrackr.
