    Imo they aren’t even trying, because it’s not that hard to make it better. Doesn’t even have to be a compromise. Most people just need a visible download button for the programs, that’s all.

      SourceForge had a better UX for those who just want to download software.

      And SF is horrible, so this says a lot.

      There is, it’s literally right there on the home page of the project. You can either copy a URL and download it by cloning the git repo, or you can download the whole project as a zip file. Then you just have to compile it!

      GitHub is for developers, not end users.

        That’s not a download button for the program. But there is indeed a link to the release page right on the home page of the project, so you’re still correct.

        It’s not a compromise to make another download button for the last release as well. No one looses.
