Got a side project you want to promote? We want to help.

Hi, we run a site called "SideProjectors". http://sideprojectors.com A market place for side projects. We've had great responses from the community since our launch about 6 weeks ago. And we wanted to give back a little by helping those who want to promote their side projects. So you can now submit your side project to show others and receive feedback on our site. This is pretty much same as "Show HN" I guess, and of course there are few other sites where you can do this (e.g. Reddit, Betali.st), but we thought it doesn't hurt to provide another source of marketing + promotion. We are also planning to do a little bit more with popular side projects submitted (e.g. promoting throughout other pages of the site, including popular side projects in our email newsletters) so hopefully it'll help you at least get some exposure + additional inbound link. Here's the link to the submission page. You can of course, edit, delete the listing any time. http://bit.ly/18xWTzI Cheers.

Do projects expire? I had one posted, but now it is gone.

Nice - posted one of ours. Bug report/suggestions: 1) Can't find a way to edit our project listing 2) Consider more rigorous client-side validation on submission form (e.g. I accidentally entered a non-numeric character in the Price field - this error was reported only after I hit Submit. Would've been easier if this were reported on tabbing/clicking out of the field) 3) Upon erroneous submission, at least the 'How is your project built?' field got cleared Also, you might want to consider an 'auto screenshot capture/display' feature once a user types in the URL. We are very shortly going to publish a (free) API to do this - we'd be glad to help if needed, let me know. A great site/service on the whole - thanks.
