Aurora store is starting to not work by days in the last weeks.

What is the plan team, how to get proprietary apps if Aurora store went down one day and never went up again?

Sometimes a server change on a vpn fixes the login errors on Aurora for me.

The only alternatives I can think of would be services like APKMirror, where you can download the apk itself, although a lot of those sites are a little sketchy imo. You can scan the apks with a website called VirusTotal. Some apps also have a github, and you can use Obtainium to update them. Lastly, you can use Firefox or a fork like Iceraven to install a website as an "app" and just use the website like that
