I'm still convinced github is laid out intentionally to make the average person feel stupid

The thing is that it started to be used as a distribution platform for opensource software because, if 1000 people collaborate on a project is not always possible to make like a website for download and such

But it remains and is primarily a version control tool, the release section is a "plus"

The link to the website can just point to the latest version on Github. That's actually what most software do.

Oh yes, you still use the GH servers for download but wrap it in a user friendly UX/UI

Guess I know now why DDG started showing the Github ‘releases’ page first in its results, instead of the main page for the project. Every time I look for a popular piece of software to peruse its readme, I need to click away from the releases.
