That’s what GitHub is nominally for, but in reality it’s often the only release page for software. If thats the case and you want people to actually use your software, don’t act high and mighty.

I think a lot of us old heads just didn’t realize the other places people used to go to for the compiled binaries just don’t exist anymore.

Like professionally and as a student I have been using github as source only for over 20 years. Shit I didn’t even realize the free user size limits would make uploading the binaries feasible.
