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.

Improved email sending with support for SMTP ports 465 and 587

You can now send emails using either SMTP port 465 with SSL or port 587 with STARTTLS, ensuring better compatibility with different email servers.

This update makes our email sending more flexible and reliable by supporting two common SMTP ports used by email providers. Whether your server expects port 465 with SSL or port 587 with STARTTLS, we’ve got you covered.

Better compatibility with email providers
Some email servers prefer port 465 with an SSL connection right from the start, while others use port 587 and upgrade the connection using STARTTLS for added security. Our improved support means your emails will send smoothly regardless of which method your provider requires.

By handling both options, we reduce the chances of email delivery problems and make setup easier for you. This should help ensure your important messages reach their destinations without a hitch.
