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.

Fairer and clearer accessibility scores

Accessibility scores are now calculated based on unique rule violations instead of counting every affected element, giving you a more balanced and accurate picture of your site's accessibility.

We've improved how accessibility scores are calculated to give you a fairer and more meaningful assessment. Previously, the system counted each individual element that violated the same accessibility rule, which could make your score drop unfairly if many items shared the same issue — like dozens of images missing alt text.

More balanced scoring
Now, each accessibility rule violation is counted just once, no matter how many elements it affects. This change ensures the score reflects the variety and severity of issues rather than being overwhelmed by repeated instances of the same problem. We've also adjusted the weights of different severity levels so critical problems impact the score more noticeably, while smaller issues have a smaller effect.

With these changes, your accessibility score will better represent how accessible your site really is, making it easier to prioritize fixes without being misled by inflated penalties.
