Yikes you guys, don't try to get attention for your project this way. We ban accounts and sites that do that. Also, experienced HN users see through the booster upvotes and comments quickly and consider it spamming. Not a good outcome for you!

Sorry I submitted this I thought it was an interesting project. And it is not my project either. I have nothing to do with it. I think I stumbled on it via reddit or twitter.
I remember the rule was if it wasn't my project I cant put Show HN in front of it.
So what was wrong with this submission?
Edit: I see it was likely some comments and new account upvoting rather than the submission itself?

Correct. It looks like your submission got swooped on by a bunch of users/friends/fans who decided to "help" and didn't realize that on HN this kind of "help" actually hurts.
This situation typically pattern-matches to the submitter being part of the ring, so I assumed that was the case here. Sorry! The "you guys" part still applies, of course, to the ones who actually did the voting and commenting.
(When I say "ring" I don't necessarily mean a conscious ring with the intent to manipulate. Sometimes people just haven't read the rules and are assuming that behavior is ok that isn't ok, or sometimes they pass a link around without considering the likely consequences of doing so.)

This is an awesome beast of a knowledge graph db built by a very talented, dedicated and energetic and all around super nice team.
I've played around with it and it's really worth checking out.
They also have very good docs, tutorials and online meetups.

This product keeps getting better. We started using it over a year ago. The hyper-relation concept is powerful and has caused us to re-think our schema approach. We model differently now.
