"Planning to close my Google Play Developer Account. Please say hi if you are interested in obtaining the latest gplay release files from me to help in publishing this app."
It's going to be much less of a problem for everyone, with these draconian Play policies, as I imagine more and more people will be installing F-droid.
as far as i know f-droid is using the same mechanism to install apps as would any other app (though i remember reading that this wasn't always the case and that it switched to the standard mechanism at some point), like a filemanager. either an app can invoke the installation or it can't. there should be nothing in f-droid that would make installation any different.
I've been using that one for a long time now. I recall that when I got started with Syncthing (some months to a year or two ago?), it seemed to have been the folk wisdom to use Syncthing-Fork, but I don't recall what the reason was.
Seems to work. Exported the config of the other one and imported it in this one. Seems all the settings are there. Sync seems to work too. Kudos to the devs.
