WarpBuild – x86-64 and arm GitHub Action runners for 30% faster builds
Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m excited to show you WarpBuild! WarpBuild provides fast, secure `x86-64` and `arm64` Github actions runners. This speeds up your workloads by 30%, at half the cost, and takes ~2mins to get started. We’ve been seeing pretty good results since we opened up signups a week ago and I’ve shared some numbers publicly here [1]. Currently, we support linux runners for Github organizations (not personal accounts) and MacOS support is coming soon (~Jan). The way the runners work is deceptively simple: Runners are assigned to hardware that is ideal for build workloads with fast…
WarpBuild – x86-64 and arm GitHub Action runners for 30% faster builds launched on December 8, 2023 with 154 votes, #305 of 3,780 launches that month and more than 95% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 2 years on.
In plain words
WarpBuild provides x86-64 and arm64 GitHub Actions runners designed for faster CI/CD builds. The service targets organizations running GitHub Actions who need quicker build times and lower costs. Runners use VMs with fast NVMe storage and high single-core performance, supporting nested virtualization, Kubernetes, and Android emulators. Linux runners are currently available for GitHub organizations, with macOS support planned. Setup takes approximately two minutes.

- GAGitHub Actions on macOS, 25% faster and at half the cost2024 · docs.warpbuild.com · ▲13
Hey HN, I’m Surya and I’m super excited to show you WarpBuild’s new MacOS runners for Github Actions! The MacOS runners are powered by M2 Pros with 6vcpu and 14GB memory. On paper, this is comparable to the M1 powered macos-latest-xlarge runners by Github but are 25% faster and 50% cheaper, with the same tools pre-installed. This is useful for 4 reasons: because Github runners are super slow and pricey and even more so on mac, managing mac infra is a hassle, concurrent CI runs on macs can get very expensive, and pre-installed tooling speeds up workflows. We have teams running iOS builds on…
Warp, a Rust-based terminal2022 · warp.dev · ▲946Hi HN community, I’m Zach, founder and CEO of Warp, and am excited to show you Warp, a fast Rust-based terminal that’s easy to use and built for teams. As of today, Warp is in public beta and any Mac user can download it. It works with bash, zsh, and fish. The terminal’s teletype-like interface has made it hard for the CLI to thrive. After 20 years of programming, I still find it hard to copy a command’s output; I always forget how to use `tar`; and I always have to relearn how to move my cursor. To fix fundamental accessibility issues, I believe we need to start innovating on the terminal,…

Talanoa▲346Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

Hi HN! I’m proud to share that we have built a real 3rd party iMessage client for Android. We did it by reverse engineering the iMessage protocol and encryption system. It's available to download today (no waitlist): https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.beeper.ima and there's a technical writeup here: https://blog.beeper.com/p/how-beeper-mini-works. Unlike every other attempt to build an iMessage app for Android (including our first gen app), Beeper Mini does not use a Mac server relay in the cloud. The app connects directly to Apple…

Hey! I made Heynote entirely for my own use case. For many years, I always had an Emacs instance running with the scratch buffer open, even long after I had abandoned Emacs as my programming editor in favor of more recent IDE:s. The simplicity of having just one big scratch buffer appeals to me, but I still want to separate the different things I jot down somehow (without using tabs or similar). Previously, my solution was to insert a bunch of blank lines between the notes, but hitting C-A would still select the entire buffer. That's why I came up with the concept of "blocks", which turned…
