Comment on Syncthing Android app discontinued

The problem is not “Syncthing users” it is the others that we bring along with us.

I already have F-Droid on my phone, but the dozen others that I have promoted Syncthing to over the years do not. This is going to cause a bunch of problems.

This is much more important than what you portray here.

The point you raise reminds me of when Signal dropped SMS support, after my efforts to convert all the non techie people in my life over to it. So sad when it happens…

  I don’t follow - do people still seriously use SMS? I for one try to use it as little as possible.

  I was reminded of the same thing.

That and the shrinking ability to grant access to device storage. If that becomes an option only on rooted phones (which seems like the directly Google is heading) it will make the audience for such an app much smaller.

  If google heads that way I’ll head somewhere else.

    This is my currently dilemma.
    Each year Android becomes restrictive like iOS with none of the benefits, Rooting becomes harder as more apps tap into the Play Integrity API (and strong Integrity is on the way to kill most workarounds for it), iPhone got a little better but is still locked down as fuck, where the hell do I go to? 😒

    Realistically I have no where to go and that’s the problem. iOS is even more locked down.

  And yet Resilio can access a lot more than ST, even without root.
