I don't think it qualifies as advertising. People come to Hacker News to see what hackers are working on. It's certainly a major reason why I come here.

Every Show HN post I've seen was interesting. Motivated me to start my own projects and polish them so I can show them here. It's a really good feeling when someone else submits your work and you get to talk about it.

You may only "Show HN" something you've made yourself.

I know, I've never made a Show HN post myself. I meant to say other people independently submitted my project here once.
