Ask HN: Posting on new releases
Hi!
I posted a news on HN a week ago about a small project of mine getting publicly released for the first time. No business involved. Audience is limited but helps me to improve the application by submitting suggestions or asking questions following a logic I didn't think about before.
It is a good thing for the project so I would like to keep spreading the word.
Would it be considered as spam if I keep posting here about new releases, say a couple of times a month?

I asked the original question because a one shot news will not necessary gets "enough" attention, depending on the time or the day it has been posted for example.

If you want to spread the word about your project, you'll be better served by doing something interesting with it, blogging about the interesting thing you did, and submitting said blog post to HN. As long as you can keep doing interesting things with your project, you'll keep getting plenty of attention here.
