What is the reason to use a continuous integration system like travis-ci.com, or codeship.io? You could simple run "rspec" in your shell! The reason is automation!

I use continuous integration to get notified if the build breaks after each commit, not for "automation".

BTW - you should run rspec in your shell, too. :)

If you had a clear value proposition like that, it'd be easier to understand.

Well, that is automation. You automate a process because you don't wanna run everything manually in your shell. From VersionEye you get notifications about outdated libraries. But not just that. The tool also shows a list of licenses you are using in your project.
