Would you please stop doing this? It's repetitive and therefore off topic here.

It's fine to occasionally post links to your own work when it's relevant. But it's not fine to do it routinely or generically—HN readers consider that spamming.

Sorry. I've checked HN several times a day every day for a decade and personally desired to see highlights of articles as a preview or summary since there's so much quality content here and so little time to look at it all. So I built Kontxt.io to save, organize, and share the best parts of the web. I thought others might be be interested and find it useful as well.
I totally get it, but posting generic links in the threads isn't the way to share the project. The more you do that, the more users (and eventually the software) are going to interpret it as spamming. I know it can be frustratingly difficult to get attention on HN, but if you're going to post a link in a thread, it needs to be in connection with something specifically relevant.

Since you haven't posted a Show HN in two years, you should try again. "I built Kontxt.io to save, organize, and share the best parts of the web" is a good line - you should rework it (shortened) into your title.
