The question he asked was “I would like to know if something similar exists before trying to create it”. Maybe, understanding the problem domain isn’t the only problem but also reading comprehension?
“If you say X asked and I answered” that commonly means that you claim that your answer has something to do with the question. If you understand that your answer has nothing to do with the question there’s no need to point out that the person asked.
