My website is a newsletter with python tutorials so that's why I didn't submit it to Show HN, where from what I understood from the rules is not permitted.
All in, I get the idea. Engage with the community and participate in discussions before doing self-promotion, which makes a ton of sense.
Thanks for being so upfront on the advice, and it's something I'll definitely consider.
What I was curious about is why is HN regarded as such a good place to promote your own work, if in general, this sort of posts are frowned upon?
