Syncthing 2.0 Launches With Major Database Overhaul

For those using it on Android, a reminder that the older app is not maintained anymore and you might want to replace it with Catfriend1/syncthing-android.

But also - maybe wait for the app v2.0 to be released to upgrade the desktop client at the same time; I don't know if using v2.0 on the desktop would work with the v1.x app.

Emacs Org mode (or Logseq) and Syncthing together are probably the only system I have found that works for my chaos, I am very thankful for how these softwares have allowed me to structure my organizational system in a way that is simple and I have direct control over.

Also, it takes years for me to integrate habits deeply into my life with many many many repetitions necessary to lock the habit in, so being able to organize things in plaintext gives me much needed assurance that I won't have the rug pulled out from under me by the company behind the product enshittifying or going out of business.

Syncthing is critical to my organizational systems because it makes the sharing of notes between devices agnostic of the specific notes system I am using. Syncthing shares a folder and it has some text files in it... those could be .org emacs org mode files or logseq files.. it doesn't matter I can change my notes system and retain the same sharing mechanism.

From the bottom of my heart thank you to everyone who has worked on these tools, I plan to keep donating to and supporting these projects in the future!

This is very exciting! But I'm relying on third-party addons for both Android (syncthing-fork from Fdroid, itself a fork of syncthing-android which wasn't being maintained) and windows (syncthing tray). I think my Mac and Linux machines are using standard syncthing, but I'll be waiting a little bit for the rest of the community/ecosystem to catch up!
