SourceHut. It's still in alpha, but I really enjoy the simple and straightforward build system based on Linux shell scripting in separate stages. The pipeline definitions and secrets system are concise and allow you to pull in configurations to files at specific locations as well, which makes applying a secret for AWS or NPM CLI commands a single entry in the secrets property and you're good to go.

I'm using this primarily as a tool to automatically build and host webpages on Netlify with ease, but it allows functionality like containers (long live podman) for reproducible builds and supports various Linux and BSD distributions already.

Plus the UI is just easy to work with, most websites today feel like they're hiding things I care about in random corners of subsections in the page (I'm looking at you, GitHub, why is my Starred tab gone)
