undefined | Better HN

Nice, I don't think you supported them last I looked. I'll be glad to get off GH's mac runners which are straight garbage, like it's embarrassing or it should be for them. The sheer audacity to charge 10x the linux runners and still be so slow... At 10x price they are 2x+ slower than the linux runners for doing the same thing (checking out repo, installing dependencies, running webpack).

That is correct. We went live with them about a week ago. Will likely introduce it to the HN friends in the next couple of days.

I agree with the stuff you've mentioned, obviously, but also empathize a bit with the GitHub folks because of all the licences and limitations Mac runners come with.

The perf for comparable operations is squarely on them though.

I'm curious what you need macOS for if you're doing a JS project. Is it Electron?

Cross platform app development using JS (TS). Quasar is the framework I use. I build my Android apps on linux but need macOS to build the iOS apps.

Thanks! Hadn't heard of Quasar, looks cool though.
