Can you please not post like this to HN and especially not to Show HN threads? (There are special rules for the latter: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html.)

I'm sure your intention was to be helpful, but this reads like a putdown, and the kind of effect that putdowns can have on newcomers, students, and so on is exactly the opposite of what we would like HN to be.

  • That's fair. My reply was in a hurry. I should have said, "there's syncthing, but I like this&that about your project", for which I didn't have time. So, the old saying, better to stay silent than to say something that isn't very useful.

    As for the Show HN rules, I've been here for so long, gues from the very beginning, that I forgot about these separate rules or missed when they were added; anyway, fair to point to them.
