Syncthing is such a wonderful project. RIP. But for us already being spoiled by syncthing, it might be a good time to self host services to handle, sync and serve our own data like photos, contacts and more.

Damn this is some rough news... as other commenters have said though can't blame the guy. I'll cross my fingers for some random "Sinkboi for Syncthing" or something dumb like that to pop up down the road.
I've let my google developer account expire quite a while ago after they kept asking for more and more stupid stuff. Nowadays if you don't get paid a lot for it you must be either a masochist or a bit stupid if you upload to google play.
I've been using the fdroid syncthing-fork version for a long time now and haven't had any issues at all... Doesn't mean it'll last forever but it's been getting the job done for me even in its current state.
... And can't remember my original reason to use the fork instead lol
I was not even aware of this fork let alone a long timeline of existence. I am adding this onto my weekend project list. Thanks for the recommendation.
Battery management
Yes, the core version was unusable because of the battery drain
THAT'S WHATS DRAINING MY BATTERY! I've been trying to figure it out, I knew it was draining quicker because of that but never really our two and two together
Let's hope that it doesn't rely on the official release
If it's not open it will die via failure in capitalism, going broke, or "success" in capitalism like DarkSkies or HopStop, which Apple bought just to stop them existing (these are both least case scenarios in a consumer capitalism that serves neither consumers nor 90% of capitalists)
