While there doesn't seem to be any malicious code in the new repository as I'm writing this, the circumstances behind this sudden shift in developer made some people, including myself, uneasy, and led me to search for an alternative. It just so happens that [Termux](https://termux.dev/en/), everyone's favorite Android terminal emulator app that effectively functions as its own Linux distribution of sorts, has a package for Syncthing. Now, the setup process isn't exactly the most user-friendly. While the original (now discontinued) Syncthing Android port and subsequently Syncthing-Fork are definitely nicer wrappers that integrate better into the Android environment, this didn't stop me from exploring this path. -- 2.39.5
