Suggestion: publish to F-Droid or to IzzyOnDroid #24

Currently, the official installation instructions require either downloading an ancient version from Google Play Store, or manually downloading and installing the APK file. It is also possible to download the built APK from each of the GitHub releases.

I want to suggest an additional alternative method, which is both simpler for the users and also increases the discoverability of this tool: publish it to F-Droid or to IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository.

All packages on the official F-Droid repository are built by F-Droid based on the supplied source-code. Packages on IzzyOnDroid can be binaries (fetched from GitHub). On both cases, there is some effort for reproducible builds, which means different people on different computers should be able to build the exact same binary from the same sources. As reproducible builds come with their own set of challenges, they are very welcome, but not required. (To the best of my knowledge.)
