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.

Simpler, unified widget settings for easier customization

We’ve streamlined your widget settings into a single tab where you can easily switch between display modes and customize looks, making it quicker to tailor your widget’s appearance and behavior.

Managing your widget settings is now more straightforward with a fresh, unified setup. Instead of juggling multiple tabs, you’ll find everything in one place under the new Widget tab, making it easier to configure and preview how your widget looks and works.

Easy switching between modes
At the top of the Widget tab, you can select whether your widget appears as a Floating Button or a Side Panel. This choice dynamically adjusts the options you see, so you only get the relevant settings for each mode without any clutter.

Consistent and live customization
Shared appearance options like accent colors, titles, badges, and pulse animations now apply seamlessly across both display modes. Plus, the live preview updates instantly to show exactly how your widget will behave—whether it pops up or slides in—so you can perfect your setup with confidence.

We also ensured that these improvements work smoothly with your existing settings, so your widget remains just as you left it while giving you a cleaner and more enjoyable way to make it your own.
