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.

Easier changelog setup with clearer tabs and filters

Changelog settings have been reorganized into intuitive tabs and filters, making it simpler to customize what you see and how your public page looks.

We’ve rethought the way changelog settings are organized to help you find and tweak features faster. Now, instead of wading through a long list, you can quickly switch between focused tabs that separate your options clearly.

Streamlined filtering and visibility
The Entries filter now includes an “Auto Mode” tab alongside All, Published, and Pending options, letting you control which changelog entries appear with greater ease. This means you can manage your changelog entries just the way you want without confusion.

Better widget and public page customization
Settings are split into two new sub-tabs: Widget and Public Page. The Widget tab puts all your display options—like theme, position, icon, color, title, badge, and pulse effect—under one roof, along with the embed code to add it anywhere. Meanwhile, the Public Page tab lets you quickly update your changelog’s URL, set a custom slug, and add your logo and website link. This clearer separation makes customizing your changelog’s look and accessibility more straightforward and enjoyable.
