I've been trying to promote my project for a week now and it's terrible. I've try to post on X continuously and also on Reddit.
I even follow the trend "looking to connect with..." but so far no user/feedback yet.
How do you guys handle such frustration and keeping your mental health ?

#3How to take your product to market has been the downfall of many, many startups. Building something is the easy bit - getting people to pay attention to it is far harder, especially if you're not someone who enjoys marketing.
Hit up your network and find someone who genuinely loves marketing a new product, and ask for help.
However... Also note that the startup market has changed a lot over the past couple of years. AI has made people shift from "how can I pay to fix my pain point?" to "How can I vibe code an app to fix my pain point?" Marketing in those conditions is much, much harder than it has been in the past.

You describe in few sentenses perfectly what happens now. Need some time to accept the actual situation, the shift hits too hard though

This is by design. Hacker News tends to frown on people who only use it as a tool to promote their own interests.
When you actively participate in the community in good faith, you’ll generally get more feedback and engagement when you do want to showcase something you’ve created.
