For now my priorities are elsewhere, but I don't want to leave this project, I will definitely continue maintaining it!

As a first note, releases should be done from a Github Action, when a tag is released. As the project is still in development, this is not yet in the scope.

Initially, I intended to create builds for as many platforms as possible through Github Actions and publish these builds right in the Github release assets. I think this is the easiest way to distribute the app, and the latest pseudo-tag in Github allows having a permanent link always pointing to the latest release, which is nice.

Distributing it everywhere through package managers would be a nice thing, however I have approximately zero knowledge on how this can be achieved. I never created any deb package or homebrew formula.
Moreover, I'm not sure that it would be compatible with something like a self-update command that I intend to create one day in order to self update the binary by fetching the latest release on Github (or any other CDN-like server).
Also, I'm a bit worried about package repositories: they would need to be updated on every release, but if I remember the few things I learnt with Ubuntu for instance, the package needs to be highly trustable to be part of the native package repositories, or be in the contrib one which needs more config.

And finally, Rymfony is a Rust project, so it can be distributed as a single executable (which is great), so it doesn't really need any additionnal lib or dependency 😉

I still think having to wget/curl a release file from a Github URL is fine, but maybe I'm wrong 😉
