Generally speaking, a certain level of self-promotion is OK here. In fact, here's an entire feature "Show HN" just for showing off your own stuff. But as a corollary to the guidelines[1] and FAQ[2] do say that HN is not primarily for self-promotion. And if all you post is just self-promotional content, and/or if you're posting self-promotional stuff all the time, it's going to be frowned upon and could result in your account being restricted or something. From the guidelines doc: Please don't use HN primarily for promotion. It's ok to post your own stuff part of the time, but the primary use of the site should be for curiosity.
