Looks great, I'm glad to have an alternative after the syncthing-fork debacle.
It also seems this one only worries about running Syncthing and lets all configuration be done via the Web UI. Pretty smart choice IMO.
Minimal wrapper for Syncthing on Android. Unlike Syncthing-Fork, it does not use Android’s Storage Access Framework to avoid performance degradation. The intention behind this project can be found here. This one needs more vetting from the community to determinate if the developer is trustworthy.
The dev has some chops. Multiple projects with lots of activity over years. I realize his pseudonym makes people nervous, but his name appears to be Andrew. 😂

What happened with syncthing-fork? I heard about some problem, but I don't know any details whatsoever.

As far as I know that's because the "universal" binary is shipped with multiple platforms supported.

website says 404 but fDroid app opens it🤷
or you can just refresh repos (in fDroid or droid-ify) and it's the first app on the "latest" tab

You can import/export the configuration between these apps.

import/export put basicSync in a reboot loop. twice.
I had to clean the storage and reconfigure from scratch

That's unlucky. It worked for me on first try.
