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.

Invoices are now created automatically when proposals are signed

Once a proposal is signed, draft invoices are generated automatically based on the payment schedule, making your billing process smoother and more efficient.

This update streamlines your billing workflow by automatically creating invoices as soon as a proposal is signed. Instead of manually generating invoices, the system now drafts them based on the payment schedule defined in the proposal, helping you stay on top of payments effortlessly.

Simplified billing with smarter invoice creation
The first invoice is assigned a due date calculated from the signing day, so you know exactly when payment is expected. Following invoices are flagged for review without due dates, giving you the chance to double-check details before sending them out.

Better tracking and client management
If your proposal isn’t already linked to a client, the system creates one automatically using the proposal’s information, keeping your records tidy without extra work. Team owners also get notified about how many invoices were generated, so everyone stays in the loop.

You can toggle this feature on or off in your team settings, but we’ve found it helps keep the billing process smooth and reduces manual effort, so it’s enabled by default. Overall, this change helps you focus more on your work and less on administrative tasks.
