Nice work! I don't often leave comments on others' posts, but the "share" section of this article flows really well with a list of resources I compiled in one of my own articles. I think it's useful for anyone interested in this post, so I'll copy and paste that section here so people don't have to click away:

There are a lot of platforms to post your project to for free. The ones that have worked best for my JavaScript-based repo (in order) are r/javascript and r/webdev on Reddit, Cooperpress- which runs the the biggest coding email newsletters (contact here), Dev.to, Hada News, Echo JS, Hacker News, Product Hunt, Twitter, Facebook, and LinkedIn. Lobsters is an invitation-only community that I don't have an in with yet, but you can post there as well if you do. If your repo is JavaScript-based like mine, you can also post to JavaScripting once you reach 80 stars. Even interacting with other users' repos on GitHub through contributions/stars/follows can lead to visits to your own repo. Don't overdo it with GitHub interactions though; you'll get flagged or banned or spam.
