The Syncthing Android drama is exploding mastodon.pirateparty.be

Some days ago I got interested in using Syncthing to keep a folder of markdown files synched between computer and phone, for personal notes.

Lost interest the momment I found out that all mobile clients for Syncthing are from third parties.

I understand that maintaining a server plus clients is a lot of work. But by not having an official client you leave people at the mercy of random clients by random people.

The Git Sync or PuppyGit apps are a good way to keep markdown files in sync between devices. I use git for my Obsidian notes.

It's better than file sync because you have diff and merge in case you accidentally edit the same file on 2 devices and get a conflict. Plus you have full history of everything.

If you do need file sync I really like the FolderSync app on my phone, it's reliable and connects using a ton of protocols.
