Hi RossM, Keith from Buildbox here. Can you see https://assets.buildbox.io/assets/logo-2e6cfd9ad9b7c91ffe1e5... . It's working ok for me... Weird.
I'm getting an access denied error on the asset link, but the page seems to load fine for me.
Would be nice if the page explained how Buildbox compares with other popular hosted CI tools, e.g. Jenkins ( http://jenkins-ci.org )?
As soon as I see a shiny, polished web page with lots of highlights and no details, I now assume it's a shill for money without any meaningful content. I'm right more often than not. Oh, startup culture!
Is it just me, or has the entire Open Source/Free Software movement(s) been replaced by simple proprietary tools "in beta" pushed by profiteering young coders looking to start a micro-business oriented towards their peers? The great majority of these tools could be [and often are] written in a weekend, which is why it confuses me they'd be trying to sell it to someone. As soon as I see a shiny, polished web page with…
There are open source alternatives to this service, which a couple of folks on this thread have already pointed out.
However, not all teams are scaled to run and maintain a Jenkins server so there is certainly a need for such services. Often the price point is low enough that I am happy to get myself out of the business of maintaining infrastructure so that I can focus on the product I'm building.

Most major web applications built today thrive on a large, active ecosystem of open-source tools. Rails, Django, Play and Compojure all require the active participation of a large community of interested developers to keep them thriving and healthy. The author of the linked tool, who is a good dude, himself has a notable open source track record. I don't see any of this going away anytime soon.
I used to maintain the Ruby version of CruiseControl, the original open-source CI tool. There's plenty of room for everyone here.
I recently spent a reasonable amount of time looking for a hosted CI solution that would run the particular version of postgis we use, rather than the 'latest and greatest,' but it seems like a lot of the current offerings have fairly limited flexibility in build environments (understandably I suppose.)
