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.

React and share feedback on changelog updates

You can now express how you feel about each changelog entry using emoji reactions and leave optional feedback, giving us a better way to understand your experience and improve.

We’ve added a new way for you to engage with changelog updates by letting you react to each entry using sentiment emojis like 😞, 😐, and 😄. This makes it easy to quickly share how an update lands with you without needing to write anything.

Express yourself with emojis and feedback
Beyond just reactions, you’re now able to leave text feedback and optionally provide your email if you want us to follow up. Whether you have a quick comment or more detailed thoughts, your voice can be heard.

Keeping it respectful and reliable
To keep the experience smooth and prevent overuse, reactions are tracked anonymously by IP and limited to one reaction per minute. You’ll also see reaction counts right on the dashboard, helping us spot what’s resonating with you.

Better insights for future improvements
On the dashboard, a new Feedback tab collects and organizes your comments with filtering and stats so we can focus on what matters most to you. This new feedback loop helps us shape updates better tailored to your needs.
