I'm familiar with Izzy. The main objection I have is that apps in that repository aren't built from source independently. I think it's a terrible trend to throw away the checks and benefits of using an app store, by telling people to turn off safety features and install from untrusted sources. TOFU is not a replacement for reproducible builds and binary white-listing.

This app in particular is trying to update itself, which I find unacceptable.
