Same for Windows.

I may be a little old-school about this. That’s fine. I think most people out there who are trying to support multiple platforms with their code should be going one of three directions—(1) some kind of web app, (2) an open-source tool where end-users compile it or run it in their Python interpreter or Node.js or whatever, or (3) a pre-built binary for systems they personally run at home.

I also am not writing out, like, an essay on how to replace GitHub actions for every possible use case that people have GitHub actions for. I am just providing some suggestions for one possible direction. If you get off GitHub actions, you are going to end up with something that is missing some of the features that GitHub actions, maybe some features that you like. The same is true in the reverse—if you switch to GitHub actions, you will obviously lose features that were present in whatever other system you had before. GitHub actions is, after all, completely terrible and switching to it would just be a kind of disaster in a bunch of different ways.

I don’t like to put this kind of wall-of-text disclaimer in comments on HN, and hopefully y’all can figure this stuff out without the wall-of-text disclaimer. It would be kind of… absurd… perhaps, to expect some random commentator on Hacker News to give you exactly the answer that satisfies your needs, unless you put those needs in a question.

Instead I limited myself to two suggestions. If you don’t like them, then figure something else out yourself. You will not have trouble making something better than GitHub actions.
