I like your marketing approach - post a list and include your project https://www.sideprojectors.com right in the middle. Wouldn't it be fair to disclose such a thing?
Why? OP gave you a list and a fairly non bias summary for each. Besides, using their site is completely optional and based on volunteerism. If you think it was of poor character, don't use their site. Is mentioning they run the site necessary? Absolutely not IMO.
Yeah, this isn't reddit. We don't care if people are trying to promote their work on this site. We all have projects that need promotion.

http://reddit.com/r/startups http://reddit.com/r/entrepreneur I think your best bet (based on advice from this site and my own experience) is to find the community most relevant to your product and make sure everyone in that community knows you're launching.
Regarding http://reddit.com/r/startups and http://reddit.com/r/entrepreneur
One word of caution: take the comments on Reddit with a grain of salt.
For every decent point, you'll see tonnes of comments like:
It costs too much, charge $0.99/month instead!
Or
I hate it, change x, y, z and make it free and I'll consider it
Which can be safely discarded.
Definitely don't take any criticism received to heart!

#14Better advice would be better to find out where your customers are and go there.
So, yeah, go ahead and post to HN but only if your target market is actually on HN otherwise you'll get a lot of tyre-kickers and no actual customers.
Addendum: if you don't know how to reach your customers. Stop what you're doing and find out

Ugh, I'm not a fan of the idea of a whole bunch of people spamming crunchbase and angel.co with a side project that goes nowhere. It will make crunchbase useless as the dead links and dead projects pile up like so many abandoned github projects.
Oh sorry downvoters for quashing your dreams of wealth and fame with your bootstrap styled 10 hour project consisting of largely code copy and pasted from stackoverflow that will revolutionize everything everywhere. Yes please submit that to all the places. We all want to try it out.

#19It's funny with ShowHN - I know it can be quite useful, but I'm so paranoid to do it. It's a one time shot (I don't want to spam it over again), and if you don't get any feedback, your shot is lost.

Making a list and including yourself is a time honored internet marketing move. And it works. And since the list is actually useful, why not?
