Haell yeah! Now I don't have to worry about having to check every so often to see if they've updated by going to their gitlab!

Edit:

Damn! Getting an error 404...

Edit Edit:

I am an idiot. Needed to go to their gitlab to get to find what I was looking for.

You might want to look into Obtainium if you have any other apps you do that with. You add a link to GitHub, GitLab, Codeberg, etc. into Obtainium for whichever apps you want to track, and Obtainium will automatically check each source in the background every six hours or whatever.

Get Android app updates straight from the source.

Obtainium allows you to install and update apps directly from their releases pages, and receive notifications when new releases are made available.

I tried that for a while with mull before it was announced updates would stop and I don't know whether it's incompetence on my end or my phone or what, but it wasn't working right. Didn't help that no matter what I did, my phone always wanted to put it in deep sleep mode.

Applications where the APK is not published alongside the source code in GitHub or whatever, and is instead only available through an F-Droid repo (like Mull), take some extra configuration to set up through Obtainium. Fortunately, there is this neat crowdsourced list of popular apps that require that type of extra configuration, where you can find an app like Mull in the list and quickly import its configuration into Obtainium
