GitHub Releases is the default for many open source projects when sharing binaries. It works, but it was never really designed for proper distribution.
Common issues:
- Users have to manually download files, no easy automation.
- No download stats, so you never know which versions are popular.
- Limited CI/CD support beyond uploading artifacts.
- No repository integrations
ZipZen is a lightweight release hosting service built specifically for developers. You get:
- CLI & API integration
- Support for Helm package hosting that requires NO configuration
- Support for Linux package repos (APT/YUM) that requires NO configuration
- Download statistics
- Reliable binary hosting
If you are looking for release hosting or frustrated with GitHub Releases for distributing binaries, ZipZen is designed to make this easier. https://www.zipzen.dev
