Hey folks! I know a while back there was a kerfuffle because syncthing-fork for Android went dark, and then a new person showed up and claimed everything was cool and they’d been privately given the keys or something, and people were concerned. I pinned my fdroid version to the at-that-time-current release until we got clarity.
Well, it’s been a while and I just noticed I’m still on that old release. So… how’d it turn out? Do we like the new person yet? Is there a promising fork y’all are using? Or is the project dead? I’m sure I could just go look at the repo, but I’m also sure the repo would tell me “yeah, we’re all cool” no matter what, so I’m curious what the community feelings are. Have there even been any useful new releases since then?
Thanks!
I use Localsend, to me it feels like what Syncthing wishes it was on some level, Localsend is limited to only sending messages to devices using the same network, however, on pure simplicity, Localsend is the goat. Maybe I’m just too stupid for Syncthing, I watched the tutorial and all, it just seemed way to overcomplicated to me on certain aspects, even when it worked it felt like I did something wrong, it was never as simple as “pick file, send file”. Localsend is my go-to nowadays and does all i needed from Syncthing 10x as fast and with a much better UI.
Localsend doesn’t automatically sync files between devices does it? Afaik you can only send files as a manual thing you have to do for every file. They’re intended for different things.
