I don't have a good answer, I recently switched back to the Play Store. Sometimes apps you wouldn't expect are open source and you can update via Obtanium so it doesn't hurt to check.
Sometimes I try to get my app just from any store as apk but the thing is I am always worried if it's not safe or not up to date.
Oh I meant like, an official github repo. I wouldn't ever recommend getting an apk from some random site.
Yeah I am aware of that, just shared my experience
