[Clarified]Unity DE for ArchLinux?

Hey guys!, I wanted to install Unity DE, I tried to follow https://unityd.org/unity-on-arch/
but I couldn't

error: failed retrieving file 'arch-unity.db' from unity.ruds.io:
SSL: no alternative certificate subject name matches target hostname 'unity.ruds.io'

and curl -Iv https://unity.ruds.io/arch-unity/ returns

subject: CN=yunohost.org
start date: Mar 19 02:35:49 2024 GMT
expire date: Mar 19 02:35:49 2026 GMT
subjectAltName does not match hostname unity.ruds.io

so are there:
a current working mirror of arch-unity OR,
a new repository URL, OR
a maintained package source?

How to install it?

If you bypass the ssl check you end at https://unity.ruds.io/yunohost/admin/#/login?redirect=/

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_(user_interface)
=> https://gitlab.com/ubuntu-remixes/ubunt … y-x/unityx

Smells like bitrot

Edit: Apparently UbuntuUnity is now YAD, https://gitlab.com/ubuntu-unity/unity/u … type=HEADS looks more maintained.
There's no AUR package for that to find, so you'd have to create that

Anyone but me.

As of now Im not in the mood to compile the remaining parts and convince it work
Ill install compiz from AUR, and use it instead of XFWM4, and call it a day

Marking as clarified. Thanks for the links btw.
