Question For Mods: I Am Lead Developer Of An Open-Source Project, I am just about to finish a huge redoing of the frontend, I am also doing a video tutorial series on the software, how can I share these without being flagged for self-promotion or spam? Genuine question, thanks!

I am not a moderator, but if you prefix your submission with "Show HN: " then it will appear on the Show HN tab: https://news.ycombinator.com/show This page is designated for people to show off their projects.

You should probably link to the videos on your project's website as part of the documentation. You could also make your Show HN a text post and link to the website and the tutorial videos in the body. However, I'd say that merely posting the videos on the website for people to find is more natural.

These are the rules for Show HN: https://news.ycombinator.com/showhn.html

Okay sweet, I hadn't known Show HN was a separate section in the frontend. That should help a lot, based on your suggestion and what I read on /showhn.html I made this post here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22135719

Does that OK to you? Thanks a lot!

I think it looks okay.

They still removed my post as a dupe. I work so hard on making something cool for the internet and get 0 respect from the mods here.
