 # SyncTool
 
-The software that runs on my Pi USB Parking station project. Written in Node.
\ No newline at end of file
+The software that runs on my Pi USB Parking station project. Written in Node.
+
+## Features
+- Highly configurable
+- Doesn't rely on anything Node itself doesn't include 
+- Spins up and manges Copyparty, Rclone, Rsync, and Open Notebook upload.
+- (probably) doesn't suck.
+### code transparency 
+Most of the services/ modules were written by Gemini
+index.js was written by me and most of usbkey-lifecycle.js
+sysfs-functions was writen by gemini
