It's really quite silly. I think all code repos on all sites should have their binaries attached to their repo. I make sure I do for every repo I maintain. Mine are usually container images, since I tend to develop services, but even if they are GUI applications, there are only a handful of binaries you would need to build and list for each release to reach 99.9% of users. Windows x86, Windows ARM, Apple x86, Apple ARM, and probably Flatpak would cover everyone on Linux (idk how to make GUI apps for Linux, I might be wrong about that). Make a script to build them all and push them all to your GitHub (or gitlab or wherever). Run the script every release. Easy peasy.
