    Unfortunately projects like will probably force GH to remove Actions for free private repos and limit it for public repos in some way, like enabling it only for approved projects. Please stop abusing this feature.

    This goes against githubs TOS and is not the first project to do so.

    Please do not abuse Microsoft/GitHub's goodwill of giving free resources. This will just get them taken away from everyone.

    Though I'm clear that this's just a tiny tool that can't be compared with a big project, I also have some feelings as I read this: https://www.vox.com/science-and-health/2020/1/7/21003272/spa...

    Hate to be sour grapes here, but this is nothing new. Every project that uses actions to publish a package, create a release commit and/or tag, and commit that to the repo is doing pretty much the same thing.

    Is this anything besides a static website that could be hosted on S3 just as well? Seems like you're just using Actions to compile the static assets, which is probably not as good as doing it locally.
