Could Pre-Release builds be made available over Github?

Extension or Userscript?

Extension

Request or suggest a new feature!

Google has hinted that the rollout of chrome extensions may be slowed down in future with potentially lengthier review periods.

For example, right now we are waiting on the fix to the dislike count being placed on top of the Share button, and this has already been resolved in the repo, but there is no available build presumably until the new version is approved within the Chrome Web Store.

I was wondering if pre-release builds could be made available on the Github releases page, so more advanced users that don't mind sideloading CRX files can install fixes in a timely fashion without having to wait on Google's fancy.

Ways to implement this!

Providing the CRX to pending releases on Github.
