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.

See your transformation story in vivid social previews

Our redesigned social preview images now show your workflow from terminal to social post, making your shares more engaging and visually rich on all devices.

We’ve revamped the social preview images to tell a compelling story about how your work transforms through our product. Instead of just showing a logo and tagline, the new image illustrates the journey from a terminal git commit on the left, through an AI-powered step at the center, to a fully formed social post with engagement metrics on the right. This helps viewers instantly grasp the value and process behind your content.

Sharper design made for sharing
These images are now rendered at twice the resolution to look crisp on retina and high-definition screens, so your links stand out on social platforms. We switched to the Inter font to ensure excellent readability and compatibility across different display environments.

Dynamic metadata that keeps up with you
Along with the fresh look, the metadata now dynamically generates the Open Graph image so your social previews are always accurate and up to date with your latest content and branding. This makes sharing smoother and more impactful than ever.
