"Discord community" is there no hope left for decent communication anymore? Even awful PHP forums from the 2000s would be a step up from this. The project seems great, I was a bit down after understanding that this was a gitlab-ci only venture (as I am currently searching for a simple and working CI/CD decoupled from the repo). But helping reduce the cognitive load needed to write good pipelines is always nice.

Yes, for now we are only compatible with GitLab, but we plan to be platform-agnostic in the future!

> for a simple and working CI/CD In my experience this mostly doesn't exist. For a public open source-only project, sure, you can use a variety of free simple CI/CD solutions. But as soon as you need anything more complicated than "run a public linter on my public code", you need to add plumbing that makes it complicated. I am very interested in making the simplest possible CI method and deployment method, but I've never been able to make or use anything that wasn't complicated. The least-complicated solution I have ever seen is Drone.io, but even that's not all that simple.

  Yes, drone.io or woodpecker (to stay on the FOSS side) are simpler than most alternatives, I had some hopes in https://agola.io/ https://agola.io/ but could not finish the tutorials due to random errors, and most other solutions are either a hassle to setup and integrate (buildbot), a vulnerable honeypot (jenkins), or require an existing k8s cluster or even more managed infra. At some point it is easier to install a gitlab omnibus than having to worry about the rest

    Wow! I didn't know about Woodpecker, this is amazing!

      > as I am currently searching for a simple and working CI/CD decoupled from the repo I've been working on an MVP that is exactly this. By decoupling the CI (CD coming in soon) it is easier to run a tool like Prettier on every repo or a subset of repos in your GitHub organization. Check it out at githaxs.com.

  I'm personally a big fan of laminar (https://laminar.ohwg.net/docs.html https://laminar.ohwg.net/docs.html). Which is an extremely minimalistic cicd solution which makes you existing tools for your pipelines instead of giving you a framework.
