It is really hard to find application releases on Github though. That is something that could be improved.

GitHub's layout is strange to me. Why isn't releases in the top nav bar with Code, Issues, PR, etc.

I know it doesn't address the issue for most people, but that and other things can be "fixed" with the refined GitHub extension.

The worst part IMO is that there used to be a "releases" button somewhere that got nuked. While "projects" is usually there, even though repos rarely use it.

Because GitHub really doesn't want to be the webhost for releases. They want you to spin up a website and provide downloads from your own server, and only link to github for the code.

Exactly!

Try gam (Github Application Manager). It's like apt for GitHub.

"Releases" section right hand. If there is nothing click on the dropdown "Code" and there "download ZIP" because there is no exe.
