Ok, let's say I have a experimental tool I want to distribute to people with a easy install. What way would you prefer to install it?

Going through package registries/repositories is a slow process, so obviously want something faster.

Just GitHub releases? Would you be fine if the URL instead pointed to GitHub in that case?

All I want is a download link to a single .exe. Or a zip if it has runtime content/dependencies. GitHub release is fine.

So then Bun is doing fine here? They have GitHub Release activated and are using it for releases.

Looks like it! I answered your question as stated. Which was a general question and not specific to Bun.
