Yeah. The real challenge with leaving GitHub is the availability of free macOS and Windows build environments (if you're in to that weird stuff 🧐).
Codeberg only has Linux runners (to my knowledge), but I spent the time to make my project cross-compile to macOS and it was well worth it to move my stuff off of shithub.
With some effort woodpecker is available. But yeah i wws spoiled on semi free builds. And circle ci builds back in the day.
I build with woodpecker, but you still don't get hosted macOS and windoesnt runners, do you?
don't mac/ios runners require an actual mac/ios device ?
I don't do apple stuff so i'm not sure.
