As far as I can see, you have: - One submission 19 days ago. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44879608 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44879608 This is clearly promotional. - A previous one 4 days before that https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44839405 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=44839405 which is a blog post. It also has a single comment and it's from rkwap (In their bio: "Building http://huntyourtribe.com http://huntyourtribe.com" and the account has no submissions and only this single comment). So your submissions are clearly marketing and promotional. This isn't bad in itself; people are allowed to submit their own projects. It's also not a problem to say things like "new and novel approach", though I must say that it sounds exactly like an advertisement. But the problem is that there's an important guideline [0] on HN that says: 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. You are not posting "your own stuff part of the time". You are posting only your stuff, which is considered self-promotion and is not the focus of HN.
