Cool, now I have to find something else to sync my Obsidian vault to my phone. It just worked! Fuck. =____=
As noted elsewhere Syncthing-Fork is still going strong, and a drop-in replacement, it's on F-Droid.
There is an android native GUI for syncthing in fdroid that looks like its still maintained: https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android?tab=readme-ov-file
I can only hope the company makes the iOS client (Möbius) decides they need syncthing to continue and decide to get behind it.
As I recall, they use Syncthing as a solution in their business, this would be a big-break for them.

It says "unlimited file sync is a $5 in-app unlock" so I'm guessing they can make money. Main problem is the apple developer fees that will eat the profit of the first 25 sales each year
For the F-droid enabled users, it seems there's a Syncthing app in the Termux repos:
~ $ apt show syncthing
Package: syncthing
Version: 1.28.0
Maintainer: @termux
Installed-Size: 26.4 MB
Homepage: https://syncthing.net/
Download-Size: 7857 kB
APT-Sources: https://packages.termux.dev/apt/termux-main stable/main aarch64 Packages
Description: Decentralized file synchronization
Also a fork that has been ongoing for years, syncthing-fork.
I've been using Syncthing-Fork (on F-Droid) for the extra features it has. I wonder if that developer will be able to continue.

This is going ro leave a shit-ton of people dead in the water.
The way i understand it, this stops maintenance for Syncthing, but Syncthing-fork in fdroid will continue its development and support as usual. Both show if you do a Syncthing search in fdroid. The fork is more up to date with features.
The app is not going to suddenly stop working, and it's unlikely to do so before a replacement appears.
Any news about the fork of it? https://github.com/Catfriend1/syncthing-android-fdroid

Not sure I understand the reasoning for discontinuing. Google standing in the way? Not enough f-droid users benefiting from it? It didn't see development cause it was already feature complete?
