There was some turmoil regarding the original developer stepping down and the trustworthiness of the new dev.

I already switched to #BasicSync, very satisfied with it, even contributed to the translations.

It would appear that @Catfriend1 has deleted their account and then started anew. Much as that isn’t an action I’d have recommended under the circumstances for the purposes of building trust, it does seem somewhat in-character.
