my bad, was there some rules for this? I wrote a detection algorithm to find which are the top trending repos that were not featured on HN and I sometimes pick out a good one to feature. I thought it was be nice to spread the word on some of these under appreciated projects.

It _would_ be nice to spread the word on these under appreciated projects, but not to lump your own promotion in with it. This is basically the same thing as blog spam, which is disallowed under HN rules. [1]

You should just submit the link to the Github repository you want to share, not to your own site. You appear to do this all the time - stop.
