includePrereleases should probably be false, no?

it should be true because the nightly release is a pre-release and there's no stable tauri releases rn

I'd prefer no "stable Obtainium" JSON over one that misleadingly actually sets up Obtainium to download nightly builds, and would require manual changes to fix later. There being no valid release yet for that JSON file shouldn't be a concern, as it means the JSON file works exactly as intended. Besides, the stable Obtainium button is set up correctly to not include prereleases. If providing a JSON file that doesn't yet provide a downloadable build is a significant enough concern, I suggest that this PR won't be merged yet until there are stable builds, or alternatively the stable Obtainium JSON file is removed for the time being (I think the latter option is preferable in such a case).

Obtainium doesn't work with the way nightly releases are set up currently, it doesn't realize there's a newer version. A potential fix would be to change the corresponding workflow to create a new nightly release and use the actual version string as the version string for the release rather than "nightly", then find the previous nightly release and delete it.

It worked for me once as well, but after that it failed to detect any updates for me.
