Description

There's already an app but code/features already in Syncthing Tray could be reused to create a nicer app with additional features like managing ignore patterns more easily. The additional UI code for the app could then in turn be re-used by other parts of Syncthing Tray, e.g. to implement further steps in the wizard as requested by some users. This way one "UI wrapper codebase" could serve GNU/Linux, Windows and Android (and in theory MacOS) at the same time which is kind of neat.

Goals

  • DONE: Learn more about development for Android and development of UIs with Qt Quick
  • DONE: Create an experimental app reusing as much existing Syncthing Tray code as possible
  • DONE: Build Syncthing as a library also for Android and use it in the app (already done but needs further testing and integration with the rest of the app configuration)
  • DONE: Update the Syncthing Tray website, documentation
  • Extend the app so it has at least a start page and an import that can cope with an export of the other app
  • Update forum thread
  • Upload an experimental build on GitHub
  • Extend the Syncthing API to download single files on demand (instead of having to sync the whole directory or use ignore patterns)
