Pitch: what problem are you trying to solve?

It is difficult to find the latest Actual Desktop (Electron) installer for anyone looking to install Actual Desktop for the first time.

Currently, the user has to:

• navigate to "Actions" in Github
• find the latest release in this massive list (which is difficult due to the number of builds we have) - https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/actions
• Navigate to the build and pick out the Electron "Artifact" - https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/actions/runs/8508921898
• Download it and install it

This is not very user friendly to a non-techie - most of them wont know what a Github Action is, nevermind an artifact, or what Electron is.

Describe your ideal solution to this problem

We currently display our Releases in the "Releases" area of Github: https://github.com/actualbudget/actual/releases

We should add the Electron desktop installers there so people don't have to hunt for them. Perhaps it can be automated.

I think we should also put the electron installer on the main website, so people know it exists: https://actualbudget.com/

IMO Actual Desktop is the easiest way to use Actual - I'd probably recommend it over server for most non-techies. It doesn't require any server setup/docker/pikapods etc.

I think we should make it easier for people to find.
