Use GitHub actions to manage releases

Hey, I saw you create another repository for releases. I think... a better way would be to use actions from marketplace.

Here's one you may wanna try: https://github.com/marketplace/actions/upload-a-release-asset

new upgrade ideas - september 2023

1. convert into standalone app using

• pyinstaller OR
• nuitka

2. no need to write extra code for temp file management. temp files can be generated and auto removed using the tempfile module.

3. create a simple gui using

• tkinter (built-in, cross-platform)
• flet (supports web, mobile, desktop) https://github.com/flet-dev/flet

next upgrade idea

• create a webapp, so that more people can access the solution.
• try a different approach for image matching like
  • Structural Similarity Index (SSIM)
  • Template matching heatmap
  • Any Feature matching algo
