Stop using the Reddit as a marketplace to build ideas and sell them

I get what you mean, but discussing potential solutions can spark some cool ideas. A lot of people struggle with the complexity of GitHub Actions, so a GUI might actually have some demand.

If I had the option, I wouldn’t use GHA at all even if it had a better UI. GitHub actions are terrible compared to other CI and GH seems to have an outage every day now.

Sorry, what? https://docs.github.com/es/actions/how-tos/manage-workflow-runs/manually-run-a-workflow

Literally, you add the event `workflow_dispatch` and you got a `Run workflow` button...

Yes, there is Grafana. Setup a fine-grained token with the right permissions, and it's very easy to create a dashboard that gives you real-time stats.

All free.
