Where to talk about your Open Source projects?

Question

GitHub

One day, about a month after the start of development, I decided to publish the library in NPM (of course, the project itself is written in js). After some time, I saw that there were about 100 downloads, although this was the first release under 0.1.0 with a meager readme. It turns out that people are interested, and it's not too lazy to look at the lists of the latest published packages in NPM.
From the moment it was brought to a fully operational state, the repository began to gain stars (though not many), so over the past 4 months at least 15 people are interested in the project (but it is possible that some people add everything to Starred indiscriminately). It's hard to appreciate how little or how much this is, because apart from NPM, the name was nowhere to be seen.
The project did it exclusively for its own needs, since it did not find ready-made alternatives (either too sharpened for tasks, or abandoned without a good structured code). Since this may be useful to many, I would like to speed up the process of disseminating information about it.
So far, I've tried the following methods: periodically I tweet with popular and relevant hashtags (if I'm lucky, there is a return in the form of 0.5-1 thousand views), I added a mini-review on youtube (almost 0 sense). I plan to write an article on Habré.
Maybe try some of the foreign services? How would you advise to tell the community about the project without any special problems?
Specifically, I won’t indicate the project here, otherwise they will suddenly consider it an advertisement (there is something about this in the Toaster rules), the main thing is that it is connected with such key phrases as "Node editor", "visual programming". Which in my opinion is currently underestimated (I don't mean something like Google's Blocky, more like Blueprint in UE4)

Answer 1

You can even publish a commercial project with a detailed description on Habré, but for this you need to use the "I'm promoting" tag. Look in the Habr rules for the conditions of such a publication. I posted my projects like this a couple of times. There are some technical restrictions that are not written in the rules - if after publication you find an error in the text, then after editing you will not be allowed to post it, because this will be considered a re-publication. If you put it in drafts, you can return it no earlier than in a day, but the publication date will not change and your article will go deep down in the lists. So it is necessary to check everything very carefully before publishing - text, links and pictures. Details - in support.
