Where can I download an executable binary I can run directly on my system, ideally without having to make an account either? Those are two pretty important things for me
The source (is cool to have) but it does not include any installation instructions in the slightest. Also it sounds like you would still need to "sign in" even if you built it from source.
That’s a fair point. I’ve released 9 projects via open source from my job - we have a very straightforward open source process (MIT-0 license) - and I always have information about how to build and deploy my projects in the README.
