After the whole Syncthing-Fork debacle, I’ve been considering what to do, and I discovered that Syncthing Tray has experimental Android builds. I’ve noticed the UI is kind of buggy (not really a surprise since they’re experimental builds), so I was wondering if anyone has actually used it and could provide a comparison with Syncthing-Fork. I’m especially interested regarding battery life and so on given that that was the main benefit of Syncthing-Fork over the original app anyway before the original app got discontinued, and obviously I’d like to know if it syncs well or if there are any weird issues.
Thing is, even using this new app it’s still ST underneath, using their Discovery servers. That’s as big an issue as anything.
Whats the issue with using their discovery servers? Has something changed regarding this?
Syncthing itself is fine. Syncthing-Fork, a completely separate project that wraps Syncthing into a neat app for Android, is what’s going through the repo drama.
Besides - it looks like the new repo owner is pretty transparent about the whole thing and appears to be making good-faith efforts to keep the original Syncthing-Fork devs involved.
