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.

AI-powered material suggestions make designing your yard easier

Our new AI feature analyzes your yard design and recommends complementary materials, even suggesting where to place them. With just a click, you can auto-place these materials on your canvas for faster, smarter design.

This update introduces a helpful AI assistant that understands your yard design and suggests materials that fit perfectly. By analyzing the current canvas image, the AI offers ideas for complementary elements like edgings or pavers, letting you explore options you might not have considered.

Smart suggestions right where you need them
Each recommended material comes with a placement suggestion, like positioning an edging along the paver border. These suggestions appear with a handy "+" badge, and clicking it will automatically add the material exactly where it belongs on your canvas. This saves you time and makes your design flow more naturally.

In cases where AI vision isn’t available, it still provides text-based suggestions to keep you inspired. This new feature gives you a seamless way to design with confidence and creativity, supported by smart AI insights.
