Research direction

Start by reading assets/js/releaseData.js and break the request into a specific release, beta, or alpha workflow before making changes. The issue mentions GitHub APIs, GitHub Actions, a /builds page, and several distribution targets, but does not identify tests or a bounded first milestone; done would require an agreed scope and the corresponding checklist items completed.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Currently, releases need to be updated by hand via assets/js/releaseData.js. Additionally, alphas and betas aren't represented at all. We could automate this.

Alphas

Betas

  • Create a GH action which publishes a beta release on Github
  • and enables temporary elements to the homepage pointing towards the beta

Releases

  • Create a GH action which publishes releases to
    • winget
    • Github releases
    • musehub
    • Fosshub
    • MS store
    • (if legally possible) Apple App store
    • (if we want to maintain it) Snapcraft
    • (if we want to maintain it) Flathub
  • updates releaseData.js
  • and hides the temporary beta element from the homepage
