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.

Step-by-step guides and icons make docs easier to follow

The documentation has been redesigned into clear, step-by-step guides with helpful icons to make getting started and setting up features simpler and more intuitive.

We've given the documentation a fresh new look that’s focused on guiding you through every step of the setup and usage process. Instead of sifting through dense pages, you’ll now find comprehensive step-by-step guides that walk you through from start to finish, making it easier than ever to understand and implement each feature.

Visual clarity with icons and clear formatting
To help you navigate, every section on the main docs page now includes intuitive icons, so you can quickly spot what you need. The pages themselves use new formatting styles with special callouts and step components that highlight important tips and actions, keeping everything clear and engaging.

Guides designed around your journey
Each doc page focuses on a specific part of your workflow, like setting up your account, connecting repositories, configuring AI providers, or crafting posts with the included writer tools. We even streamlined the content by removing the old plans page, so you get a more focused, practical set of instructions.

Overall, this redesign is all about making documentation something you want to dive into—whether you’re just getting started or exploring advanced features, everything you need is broken down into manageable, easy-to-follow steps.
