Ask HN: How do you promote your personal project in limited bugget?

Hi everyone,

I’m the one who posted about my project here yesterday.

To be honest, I’ve always focused on development, and this is my first time launching something — so I’m really struggling with promotion. How do you get people to notice your product?

Are there any other good places (besides Reddit) where I could talk about my project? Even basic suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I'm really new to this area — I feel like I know less than an elementary school student.
