It....doesn't work? I went on the "Releases" page of multiple projects and nothing showed up. There was ONE SINGLE TIME where a "9" appeared, waaaay off to the right of the name of the package. Then a down arrow waaaay off to the right of *THAT*. Then I refreshed again, and both the 9 and the arrow disappeared, back to displaying nothing. Weird. It doesn't work in Incognito mode, either. Well. Sometimes it does. If I refresh on a Releases page and get lucky, just like in normal browser mode. Overall, it's super buggy to the point where it usually just doesn't do anything.
