I DONT GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE FUCKING CODE! i just want to download this stupid fucking application and use it.

WHY IS THERE CODE??? MAKE A FUCKING .EXE FILE AND GI...
It’s not just GitHub. Gitlab, Forgejo, etc., they all have releases hidden in a rather small tab instead of in a big obvious place where one might expect to see them.
They need to make it actively harder then because most devs with a site seem to just link direct to the release page. IMO, if that’s the thought process then either make it intuitive or commit and lock it down to contributors or something.
On Gitlab, it’s in the sidebar, in a submenu under “Deployment”. It could maybe be pulled up a level, but I’d argue that’s more findable than on Github

Interesting. Maybe they don’t want to be an application hosting site to non-developer types by making releases easy to use.

I think the other ones are just copying github
Forgejo has it exactly where @[email protected] is saying, though.
Like, yeah, it is still primarily a code hosting platform, but that doesn’t mean the releases have to be in the most awkward place possible.
“Forge-JOE”, not “Forge-GO”, or “Forg-Joe” or “Forg-Go”…
I have always been confused by that name! Hahahahah!
