Posting a submission multiple times if you don't get traction the first time is OK. However, now that you've had some success, don't bother submitting the same thing again. Most HN regulars have seen it by now and won't want to see it again unless something significant has changed.

It's your lifetime historic moment. Something to tell your friends and family about, not the whole world.
> I'm just trying to hustle and show some people (and people are very appreciative so where's the harm?)
I think you're confused about what people here appreciate. A new open-source project tackling a pain point many people have is usually well-received. But there's always some project trending on GitHub and nobody who doesn't know you cares thats it's yours in particular. Hustling too hard to promote things nobody cares about will just make you look desperate for attention.
