Travis CI

anyhow congrats to 2k

I liked travis so much until they suddenly said the quota for the free
plan would be exhausted without any warning before and without even mentioning the existance of a quota anywhere. I mean Yeah, we didn't pay anything so they don't owed us anything technically, but still... This kind of action didn't exactly motivate us to get the paid plan.

What was the experience about? Elaborate, please

@asgs @horus they were essentially the cloud CI pioneers and then they got "rescued" by venture capitalists and everything turned to shit.

They claimed on their homepage that open-source would be "free forever" (and I was on Travis with a 50k/mo. Dls npm package) but in practice you had to beg their support (outsourced to Asian third-parties) for "credits" every 2 mo., they ignored requests for periodic credit allotment (which they claimed they offered) and often screwed up, literally delaying my releases a few times. Their service was bad (on purpose I believe) so they essentially pushed all free plan open-source projects away. I stayed for 6mo. until I migrated all my packages to GH actions and after 10s of support threads where their incompetence really got me frustrated

@webketje ah I didn't know that we could have begged for more credits. We dropped it in the very same moment we learned the free plan for open source is not as unlimited as claimed. Good decision after reading your story.
