If you don't know what it is based on the limited info in the readme you're not the audience.

damn bro, watch the gatekeeping... what if i want to learn more about it?

Then you read the thorough documentation provided?

That sounds like he read through the docs to me and make a perfectly valid observation that that the maintainers might find valuable. He didn't criticize them for not doing it he just pointed out that it wasn't there. You then told him to RTFM when you didn't seem to spend much time reading what he had written.

If you can't figure out what the project is, while the description says "...card emulation more stable. And gave the chameleon the ability to read, write, and decrypt cards...." then I'm not sure you should be playing with software that can easily cross the line of breaking laws. Grey-hat software like this rarely screams "NFC CRACKER" since it hurts the credibility, is more likely to get it flagged by automated scans, and attracts skids. Look what happened to the flipper...

Also, my comment was in reply to 'What if I want to learn more about it'. RTFM is the objectively correct response, no short description is going to help there. Maybe we have different ideas of what "learn more" means
