But the point is, the author didn't know about Syncthing. And he's got a few of things to solve that Syncting already has. (Doesn't need to mimic all things Syncthing has, of course).

I am all for implementing something own when one is dissatisfied with the state of the art. But that's different than updating one's understanding what the state if the art is

From the README: i built this to solve a specific problem: syncing files on a locked-down school laptop where python was one of the only things i was allowed to run.

While I can understand (while disagreeing) why my comment was downvoted, it is beyond my comprehension why it was in addition _flagged_. I expressed my view on usefulness of one's effort and I barely scratched the surface. Nothing in my comment was even remotely disrespectful to the author; I am in fact sympathetic to the guy and I think I was in his shoes many times. I can't think of any other violation of anything that led someone to flag. If someone was feeling strange or dubious about my comment, a civilised way is to ask "what did you mean", wait for reply and then judge.

This site is a democratic place; thus I am asking the flagger to tell what in his mind was the alleged reason for flagging.

I vouched for your comment. It didn't break the guidelines, and therefore shouldn't have been flagged. In the future, you can always email the mods at [e-mail] if you were flagged and think you shouldn't have been (or other mod-y stuff). (I am not a mod)

Take a look at the 'new' tab and you'll see a lot of flags that shouldn't be flags. Guessing people are using it as a stronger downvote.
