I think I’ll wait a few point releases before upgrading.
Native Android app incoming too?
Android app was discontinued a long time ago due to lack of developers and Google Play shenanigans.
Well, we are lucky we have Synching-Fork!

Sure. Is this viable long term? Why was it forked? Will it even work with 2.0?
With open source you never have a guarantee for long-term support. I guess it was forked because the original app was not maintained anymore?
Idk about 2.0, but I am using this app for a year now. It got 3 updates last month
It was forked before the previous one died funnily enough
Yeah that’s the thing. I can’t be dependent on such a thing that very well might stop functioning at any time. The fact that it’s not first-party does not fill me with confidence.
Well then you you need to pay for proprietary software or give your data to Google and friends.
There is no such thing aa “first party” in most open source projects. This repo has contributions by 111 different developers at the moment.

No. No I sure don’t.

There is. It’s the original development team of the project.

All to the same first-party SyncThing repo.
I’m still using the old app, it may lack some new features, but it was already good enough
Hope so
