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.

New slide-in panel option for a smooth changelog experience

You can now switch to a sleek, full-height slide-in panel for your changelog, offering more control over appearance, position, and accessibility while keeping the same easy setup.

We're excited to introduce a brand new way to display your changelog with a slide-in panel that smoothly glides in from the side of the screen. This full-height alternative to the floating widget gives you more room to showcase updates without taking up precious screen space upfront.

Customize your slide-in just the way you want
The slide-in panel comes with a dedicated settings tab that lets you tweak everything from the panel’s width to its left or right placement. You can adjust themes, accent colors, titles, and badges separately to perfectly match your site’s style. Plus, you get a live preview as you make changes, so you know exactly how it will look.

Built for ease, accessibility, and control
With thoughtful touches like body scroll locking, keyboard shortcuts including Escape to close, and accessibility enhancements, the slide-in panel is designed to be friendly for all users. It even prevents rapid clicking to avoid surprises. Best of all, the embed code you already use works seamlessly for both the traditional widget and the new slide-in mode, making the switch easy and worry-free.
