Línea de trabajo

Start by opening the attached test.html and comparing it with the current Download link on codexmonitor.app; use the /releases/latest endpoint and listed asset patterns as the behavioral reference. Done means platform-specific installers redirect correctly and a fallback lists all assets when detection fails.

Descripción

tldr here's a proposed solution to download latest build for detected architecture: test.html

Problem
When tapping the Download link on https://codexmonitor.app, users are redirected to the GitHub Releases page:

https://github.com/Dimillian/CodexMonitor/releases

On GitHub’s current UI, the macOS .dmg is not immediately visible. The “Assets” section must be expanded manually. For non-technical users this is confusing and easy to miss.

This creates unnecessary friction for what ideally could be a one-click download.

Suggestion

Instead of linking directly to the GitHub Releases page, codexmonitor.app could:
1. Use the GitHub REST API:

https://api.github.com/repos/Dimillian/CodexMonitor/releases/latest

2.	Detect the visitor’s platform and architecture:
•	macOS (Intel / Apple Silicon)
•	Windows x64
•	Linux x86_64
•	Linux aarch64
3.	Automatically redirect to the correct installer:
•	macOS → .dmg
•	Windows → x64-setup.exe
•	Linux → AppImage (preferred over rpm)
4.	If detection fails, display a clean fallback page listing all assets.

This would:
• Make downloads effectively one-click
• Remove confusion around hidden GitHub assets
• Improve onboarding for non-technical users
• Keep releases fully hosted on GitHub (no infra change required)

Proposed Implementation

This can be done with a single static HTML file and minimal JS:
• Fetch /releases/latest
• Inspect navigator.userAgentData (or fallback to navigator.userAgent)
• Match asset name patterns
• Redirect using window.location.replace()
• Provide a visible fallback button
• No frameworks required

attached is an example HTML page with a download button with this implemented
