How to get ProtonMail on FDroid? (sh.itjust.works)

I used to get Proton Mail from the IzzyOnDroid Fdroid repo. But now it's not in his repo anymore. Afaik this was mirroring the github release of Proton Mail at Proton's Github account

Why is Izzy not hosting the apk anymore?? Is there another F-Droid repo that is mirroring this?

And no don't tell me to use Obtanium, i don't wanna use yet another app updater.

Also I want to say that Proton's absolute refusal to put their apps on a non-Google platform despite their non-stop blog posts of how evil Google is, is downright HILARIOUS at this point 😂🤣

Tuta is where I'm at for now. They have stricter privacy than proton and are much more active in their app development. They have an Fdroid release for android and a desktop app for Linux which make life pretty nice.

I have had some connectivity issues with their servers lately though, especially on desktop. I don't know if it's my DNS setup or if it is unreliability on the server end. In any case it hasnt been too bad.
