Can you promote in r/sideproject?
r/SideProject is a subreddit for sharing and receiving constructive feedback on side projects.
The short answer
Post your project using the requested submission format, ask for constructive feedback, be transparent about your role, and keep posts focused on product/problems rather than pure advertising.
What works here

What gets posts removed
