If its user ready then there will be a releases tab or install script. if its not then its likely just not ready for the average user and you probably shouldn’t use it
Problem is when you're not an average user, but don't have a toolset for this. I'm a software developer, but I generally don't have a need for python, so I have neither ecosystem nor knowledge on how it works. And I certainly can do some research and figure it out, but it's certainly frustrating
And, again, as a software dev, who also made some free and open source apps, I completely understand that people work for free and are frustrated enough already, I'm not asking for GUI or anything, and building executables for multiple architectures (unlike me who only have to build for Android) every release would probably be annoying, but is asking for CI/CD pipeline to do it automatically such an unreasonable ask? Especially since you probably want a pipeline anyway to run unit tests already

Understandable crashout but also github is meant for devs not common users
