Is this any different from the educative account [0] that posts nothing but educative.io links? If that account is fine I don't see why this one would not be OK as well. The rules here are not the same as on Reddit. There are no rules specifically about self-promotion.

Posting your own (or your employer's, or friends') stuff is ok, but accounts that only do that eventually lose submission privileges, especially if they overdo it and/or if they're corporate identities rather than personal ones. Corporate identities don't fit with the community thing.

Got it, I checked https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and did not see it in there. May want to add it?
