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

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.
