In my opinion, any OpenSource application should not be bashed for promoting in threads like these. What will you win? probably more work as more people try your software and raise issues (feature requests or bugs). The fact that it is Libre means that any "self promotion" will not have any monetary gain, so it is fine with me.
Aaaaanyways... SuperTag looks AMAZING. I will give it a try right now and see how it works for me. Thanks a lot for implementing it :)
EDIT: It doesn't want to install for me on OSX :( Oh well, it sounded too good to be true haha.

- jessriedel 5y agoI think the HN consensus is that self-promotion in the comments is OK as long as the conflict of interest is disclosed ("Im the developer") and the comment is relevant to the conversation (no spam), which were both satisfied in this case.
- daenz 5y agoOsxfuse is notoriously problematic software. Would you mind opening an issue on the supertag project please?
