If the Catfriend fork goes, I'll have no use for Syncthing at all, and it will be a very sad day in open source. I'll probably move to some proprietary app, since I'm definitely not interested in self hosting anything, and there's not really any FOSS equivalents other than Syncthing itself.

Android really needs to just allow direct file access to any file which is under a user selected folder.

I don't think it does for anything under Android/data/ directory though does it? Which might sound like nitpicking except that there are some apps which only store their data under Android/data with no option to put it elsewhere, which means that there is no way for syncthing to access that data.
