Anyone here know anything about iSideband or its author?  Just ran across a post on Facebook announcing a TestFlight link for it.  It does run on an iPhone, but looks nothing like Sideband...

Looks like this is his, but doesn't look like it is up-to-date with the current TestFlight.

Yeah, it seems like yet another piece of slopware grift. Don't use it. It's definitely not Sideband, and has nothing to do with it.

Ah, I see it's based on reticulum-go and reticulum-lxmf, one of the branches is further ahead and looks like what is currently in TestFlight.
