Thanks, very interesting read. One-sided installation and low-latency sound particularly appealing.

Two features I didn't see addressed:

- Is there a GUI of any kind? I use Syncthing's web GUI + a tray applet for monitoring syncing on desktop, and on mobile there's an app for syncing also. Makes it easy to detect if there's a problem with any of the folders being synced, and easy to add new folders this way also.

- Is there an equivalent to Syncthing's untrusted devices feature? It basically allows for client-side encrypting the files, so you can have say one remote with the encrypted files and another remote with unencrypted files.
