ihuman··on Obsidian is now free for work
Before you were in violation of the terms of use, and most companies would rather pay for a license than risk a lawsuit
ihuman··on Obsidian is now free for work

> They're Java-only APIs and since Syncthings core isn't written in Java, the author would have to write JNI glue to call Android when writing/reading files
