    I’m not sure, if I can follow

    Aren’t the dependencies for the app (hopefully - as it’s the same code) completely the same, no matter how I install it?

    With GitHub (apk releases) the only difference would be, that you’ll need to keep an eye on updates yourself

    Or do I miss something here?

      Anything released on Github has no code requirements or restrictions, that is why some people do reproducible builds of software, to verify is has 100% functionality of a binary release. Any app from F-Droid is repoducible.

      Not the person you were replying to, but you can use Obtainium to check for and install updates from the github releases in a similar way to F-droid.
