We're making a competitor: https://circleci.com/?join=hn. We're a lot like semaphore, except our tests run much faster, we do automatic parallelization, and we support python, node, clojure and PHP.

We're in beta, but you can check it out here: https://circleci.com/?join=hn

Looks good. I guess they beat Travis CI to the punch for testing private projects and taking payment for it. But it's Ruby only, at least right now. Maybe someday Github will just build this in with their 100 million.

They may do that - however running tests on every single push is not exactly resource free, and I have a hard time believing Github will offer it for free. And Semaphore's integration/UI seems pretty seamless already.

On a side note - I know some of the guys behind this - solid team that will go above and beyond to make you a happy customer if you sign up. I believe this alone could be a significant competitive advantage.

Semaphore definitively saves time and release a developer from a burden of setting up stuff manually. I would recommend this to everyone. Keep on the good work!

Simple and to the point, exactly what I needed. Thanks guy, great work.

Easy to use and integrate -> exactly what I needed. Great work!!!

Really nice integration! Didn't have to think about anything at all.

Looks great! Congrats to Marko and his team for an awesome job. ;)

Integrates with GitHub, doesn't drain my battery, notifies only when needed. Good job - keep up.

Awesome!

awesome guys!:)

nice.
