I strongly advise against using anything from researchxxl. The conditions under which the fork changed hands are unclear, continued development has been poor, and researchxxl's behaviour has been consistently uninspiring and unhelpful. See issue 16 if you don't believe me. In the meantime, I've uninstalled Syncthing-Fork and will wait until nel0x's version is in F-Droid.

    I have to confess that I was not aware of this, thank you so much for letting me (us) know. It's interesting, and shows why taking the time to research software as well as the devs in charge is so important. I did not see any red flags other than the way the handover has been handled though.

    I get it, and I am well aware you're correct about the risks, but the infrastructure I'm running doesn't really allow me to go without it at the moment. I did stop the updates in my Obtainium entirely.

    The good news is that this just came up: https://github.com/nel0x/syncthing-android/releases

    So, it's looking bright right now.

    I uninstalled syncthing-fork when I first heard "foul voices on the air" (LotR ref) because I haven't needed it recently, & decided to reinvestigate when I next need it (& the dust might have settled itself by then). In the meantime someone commented that you can configure & use vanilla syncthing on termux instead. I use termux for so much already that it is the obvious choice (for me) if actually true. If you hadn't heard that either it might be a viable choice for you too...

    I've heard of Termux, just haven't tried it yet. I have some time off come Dec 27th, and there are some projects I want to try, I'll try to include Termux as well. thank you for the suggestion.
