[Community Contributions page](https://docs.syncthing.net/users/contrib.html)of the project currently only lists Syncthing-fork as the sole app for Android, even though there are others, like [BasicSync](https://github.com/chenxiaolong/BasicSync). With all the drama surrounding Syncthing-fork, it seems it could be beneficial for everyone to discover BasicSync, which takes far more barebones but functional approach, but can easily be seen as the more trusthworthy and secure project in comparison.

If that is what @chenxiaolong prefers, then I’m alright with it. Would you open a Pull Request to add it, @nahodah666?

Hi, BasicSync is something I originally wrote for my family and I, but I’m happy to see other folks are liking it too! As a personal project, whether it gets any visibility doesn’t matter to me one bit. Feel free to list it on the page if you’d like, or if not, that’s fine too.
