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.

API keys now work smoothly in changelog and sync features

We've fixed an issue where encrypted API keys weren’t decrypted before use, preventing frustrating 401 errors when regenerating changelog entries or syncing data. Now these features connect seamlessly as they should.

We've focused this update on improving how API keys are handled behind the scenes, making sure they’re properly decrypted before being used with AI providers. This fixes a problem that caused annoying 401 authorization errors when you tried to regenerate changelog entries or generate content from your history.

Reliable access for changelog updates
Now, when you use the regenerate feature in your changelog or generate new content from your history, the system correctly decrypts your API keys so those requests authenticate properly. This means smoother, more reliable operation without needing to troubleshoot connection errors.

Better sync support across providers
In addition to fixing decryptions, we’ve expanded support for the Straico provider in sync routes to help keep your data and operations flowing smoothly. Overall, these improvements mean fewer disruptions when working with your changelog and syncing data, so you can focus on what matters most.
