Hi, Focalboard team here! Thanks for the feedback! The missing link on the website was an oversight, and it's been fixed there (https://www.focalboard.com/download/personal-edition/desktop...) and in the readme, which is usually most up to date (https://github.com/mattermost/focalboard).
We published to the App Stores to see if that would lower the barrier to adoption. We learned that that while they are convenient for most folks, some can't access them, in particular the Windows Store, due to firewalls, corp policy, etc. So far, this seems to be a bigger problem for Windows than Mac in general.
To be transparent, we want to automate all the App Store publishing. It is currently a semi-manual process. It turns out that the Microsoft Store process is easiest (mostly uploading an MSIX file, which they sign for you). Signing for the Mac App Store was brittle for us, and became more manual. Notarizing for standalone builds has additional steps on top of that. Hopefully, Xcode Cloud will eventually solve all these problems.
BTW, another easier way to build might be to fork and use the GitHub actions:
