Reason is a combination of Google making Play publishing something between hard and impossible and no active maintenance. The app saw no significant development for a long time and without Play releases I do no longer see enough benefit and/or have enough motivation to keep up the ongoing maintenance an app requires even without doing much, if any, changes.
Sad to see it go. There is a fork but seems not so great considering they are looking for active maintainer. Still better than nothing. Need to check it out as it has some enhancements.
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

Aww, too bad
I see a comment inbox but can’t see here. I’m pasting it here
I switched to the fork as soon as I read this news. It shouldn’t take more than a few minutes:
Just install it in parallel with the mainline app,
export your existing configuration to the default storage location, import it in syncthing-fork (it’ll detect the export file automatically),
and you’re done. Uninstall the official app so they don’t compete for the daemon and port.
On f-droid the fork seems to be behind the original, but I expect I will if it continues updating.

We shall persevere! It doesn’t seem like it’s really needed any updates anyway…
