Thats.. An odd way to do software development. You can pretty much do whatever with git, its a very powerful tool. Shouldn't need to destroy and create repo's regularly..

Worth noting, if the repo never comes back, syncthing tray seems like they added android support per this message.

And it seems like you can install syncthing from termux and just use the webGUI, per that previously linked forum thread.

I think that's generally agreed and no one seems entirely sure why catfriend1 chooses to do it this way.

Maybe they created a backdoor and every time someone finds out a group of hackers rush to find another sneaky way to include a new one? 😅

Yeaaah.. As a user, I didn't know they were doing this, its enough to make me question the integrity of the code and maybe switch to something else, like syncthing Tray or just using termux to install it.

For real. I'm probably gunna swap over to something else, this is pretty sus.
