It's Liftoff still being developed? - Feddit UK

I’ve noticed a lot of request and bugs reported but they’re seems to have been no activity on this for a month. I know people work on these projects in their spare time etc and I’m not complaining, it just seems to have gone quiet.

GitHub - liftoff-app/liftoff: 🐒 A mobile client for lemmy

I’m don’t fully understand all parts of the GitHub website. That makes sense.

It’s okay, no one does (unless you’re a programmer).

To this day, I still don’t understand why there’s no dedicated download button. It’s up to the developer to provide it, and far too many of them are too forgetful/lazy to do so cause they expect you to just know how to compile it yourself.

There is a “Releases” section which provides downloads - however for that to appear, the developer has to either setup automatic building, or manually upload something as a release.

This is because by default, GitHub doesn’t know how to build random projects out there - someone has to tell it how, and GitHub needs to be told that something is ready for “release”.

That’s the point I’m making. Github shouldn’t allow uncompiled code on their website. Hide it from non-developers (i.e. People not signed in), and only show the stuff that’s ready to be downloaded. Problem solved.

github’s primary purpose is for it to host uncompiled code.

This is like you complaining that grocery stores sell eggs, flour, and butter, when all you need is a cake.
