GitHub is where Catfriend1 builds software.

Is it another “another repository reset”

Update:moved to a different repo @ https://github.com/researchxxl/syncthing-android

    Well, as OP mentioned, and others have speculated in the official syncthing forums, apparently catfriend1 did a repository reset where they wiped everything and started over something like three times last year. So that’s still a possibility. I’m going to wait until more information comes out or until catfriend1 doesn’t come back after a month or two before I start worrying about the future of the project. Worth finding anyone who had backed up the most recent version of the repository though, just in case.

      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.

      F-Droid has a copy of the source code I assume.

        Yep, looks like it. We could continue this development elsewhere. https://f-droid.org/packages/com.github.catfriend1.syncthingfork/
