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, SEO-friendly URLs for changelog entries

Changelog entries now have simple, readable URLs that use descriptive slugs instead of complex IDs, making it easier to share, remember, and find updates.

We’ve updated the way changelog entry URLs are created to make them more user-friendly and optimized for search engines. Instead of showing confusing IDs appended to the URL, each entry now uses a clear, descriptive slug derived from its title. This means URLs like /updates/token/feature-name feel natural and meaningful.

Easy-to-read and shareable links
These clean slugs not only improve SEO by including relevant keywords in the URL but also make links easier to share and remember. Whether you’re sending someone to a specific update or browsing the changelog yourself, the URLs now tell a story at a glance.

Seamless integration across the site
All references to changelog entries have been updated to use these slugs—this includes the public pages, widgets, and even RSS feeds—so you’ll see consistent, clean URLs everywhere. On top of that, when you create or update an entry’s title, the URL automatically updates to match, keeping everything aligned without extra work on your end.
