Description

1. Environment

  • Devices: Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3 and Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 FE
  • OS: [Android 14]
  • APP: [0.10.1]

2. Describe the feature request

For things I need to sync in between devices, I try to avoid cloud-based and self-hosted options. When possible I use Syncthing on its own (passwords, documents, media files, etc) or Syncthing along with DecSync (contacts, to-do lists/tasks, calendar),

It might be possible to sync Read You between android devices using Syncthing (https://syncthing.net). Users just need to know where the Read You data files are and also have access to it, then point Syncthing to that location. I can give this a try, so can you please tell me where the Read You data files are? I'm hoping they are in a location accessible by users, if not would this enhancement be added please?

Research direction

Start by locating where Read You stores its data on Android and whether that location is accessible to users. Determine whether Syncthing can use the existing files safely; done means either documenting the data location and setup or defining the required enhancement, with its data-safety implications clarified.
