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.

Cleaner changelog entries and easy AI-powered content refresh

Your changelog entries now display without distracting markdown or footer clutter, and you can quickly refresh content using AI directly from the edit screen.

We’ve improved how changelog entries appear by removing unnecessary markdown artifacts and extra footer lines that previously cluttered the display. This cleanup applies everywhere you view changelogs — from the admin list and public pages to RSS feeds and embedded widgets — making everything look cleaner and easier to read.

Simplified, polished changelog content
By stripping out things like markdown formatting and co-author footers, your changelog entries now feel more natural and focused, enhancing the reading experience for both you and your audience.

Effortless AI-powered content updates
We’ve also added a new “Regenerate with AI” feature right inside the entry edit modal. With just a click, you can refresh your changelog text using AI, making it simple to refine or improve entries without starting from scratch.
