Ask HN: How to tell the world about your project?

Submit it to Hackaday, post on HN, post on reddit. Do this everytime your project has a major update, not just once. People may scoff at this, but you can buy reddit upvotes on Fiverr. You don't beed to buy thousands, just enough to make sure your post doesn't get buried. Also start an IRC, Slack or Discord for your project.

This hackaday is new thing to me. Will take a look at it.

On reddit I've been told that I' a "spammer" since I've cross posted one announcement to few relevant subreddits.

IRC, didn't hear about it for a long time. I need to check out which servers and channels might be relevant for me. thanks!

You're not alone with the reddit thing, don't let it deter you from trying to get your idea out.

I think the secret of Reddit is to interact in an authentic, humble way (Sorry I don't find other words to describe this) on targeted subs. For me, what worked, is to share the app on /r/electronjs because it was made with Electron: "I published my first app built with Electron, love the framework. Let me know what you think!" Or on /r/api: "I created a mock API tool, my first big side project. I hope it can be useful for some people."

And the more you interact and ask for feedback the better it is.
