I’m with you on github for sure. I assume people who use it regularly think it has a decent layout but to me it seems so random and disjointed that I can’t imagine how that’s possible.
GitHub and all the other sites like it are a bit odd from a UI perspective cuz they’re catering to both regular users (including the “where exe” crowd) and devs, who need to access the million options git gives and all the extras it doesn’t (automated build and testing systems, for example). Going to a project and downloading prebuilt binaries is kinda a tertiary purpose for them, so the UI is more focused on the project’s source code + build instructions and the tooling to work with those instead.
