is there a trustworthy repo for Protonmail and Proton apps?
I'd like to rely on Google Play Store less, is there an easy way to get proton apps and keep them updated?

The F-Droid repo has the VPN , and the Izzy repo has Mail
What is the Izzy repo? Is it trustworthy?
@chockblock @Cheradenine
It's a repo of github releases. They aren't compiled like f-droid releases are. With f-droid, there's another set of eyes looking at things before they get to you. With Izzy, you have trust each individual dev. I prefer f-droid, but I use Izzy releases when the program is preferred, or there's no f-droid equivalent.
Does that mean since it comes from Proton's Github page, then it should be pretty trustworthy? Or at least as trustworthy as getting the apps directly from Proton?
@chockblock
That's correct. It should be in as-released condition from the dev. No alterations.
The Proton VPN app is the only one included in the normal F-Droid repo. I don't know about any other repos for the other apps.

Can't you use Aurora Store?
I can, but I'm hoping to move away from google entirely and have an entirely open source phone
