If it's for a specific niche, probably best to contact newsletters or news sites about that niche, and try to get them to feature it, that's better than showing something to HN or similar sites. If you pick news outlets targeted at your subject area you get a specific audience who is already interested in your idea and is a much easier sell, and you might get far more useful feedback - you want to talk to potential customers ideally. You don't say what you want to showcase, it might help if you did as then people could give specific suggestions.

If it's Go related (written in Go or about Go), it's welcome at https://golangnews.com

Don't know of any, would be interested in seeing one, I'm not so keen on Reddit but there is probably a subreddit. They do also have a forum but that's a different kind of thing.

I'm the CTO of Collaborizm.com a great place to post and get feedback from a global tech minded audience.

Probably a false positive but https://www.collaborizm.com/ triggers a warning from Bitdefender :

https://github.com/mmccaff/PlacesToPostYourStartup They've put together a very comprehensive list of places to post your startup, and some will certainly be relevant to just side projects etc. Depending on what you're looking to showcase. This will certainly be one source I'll look to, for what I launch my side project.

This is very good. Thank you.
