Where did the dust settle on Syncthing Fork? (lemmy.ca)

Hey folks! I know a while back there was a kerfuffle because syncthing-fork for Android went dark, and then a new person showed up and claimed everything was cool and they'd been privately given the keys or something, and people were concerned. I pinned my fdroid version to the at-that-time-current release until we got clarity.

Well, it's been a while and I just noticed I'm still on that old release. So... how'd it turn out? Do we like the new person yet? Is there a promising fork y'all are using? Or is the project dead? I'm sure I could just go look at the repo, but I'm also sure the repo would tell me "yeah, we're all cool" no matter what, so I'm curious what the community feelings are. Have there even been any useful new releases since then?

Thanks!

Gonna do this soon as well. Used to use syncthing for auto photo transfers and I'm tired of Bitwarden's crappy UI and terrible interop with autofill/autogenerate.

It'll probably never happen due to the nature of KBDX, but I would kill to make a resilient native sync feature so that orgs wouldn't be locked into proprietary vaults which drags you into vendor lock in when one of them starts to tank.
