Syncthing is awesome; also awkward. A better Syncthing would let me manage the options for all replicas of a folder in a unified view, from any device in the group. (Assuming I grant permission.) Likewise, let me manage multiple folders having mostly the same options across all of them. Right now I have to visit each replica separately, and review each folder. With 2 replicas of 2 folders it's tiresome and error-prone. With 3+ replicas of 3+ folders it's ridiculous. I need only a few options to differ across devices or folders, and I want to see those differences highlighted in the unified view.

We put it on Github. And we all lived happily ever after, inside Microsoft's cosy walled garden. Now where could be the harm in that?

@davx5app Yay! Fantastic. With push support, my family would get instant, efficient updates to our shared calendar and address book whenever any of us add an entry, for example.

The most interesting thing about this, for those of us who care about liberty and choice, is that the push delivery system should not be locked in to google/apple but should be able to use the UnifiedPush open standard that lets each end-user choose their preferred push provider.
