Hi Mati, welcome! Hacker News is a website for software developers to share links to topics that interest them. It has a lot of people in the software startup scene, founders, product people, and so forth. I don't know why your project specifically was shared, but it's probably because the submitter thought it was cool!

When people see a submission they like, they can upvote it, like Reddit. Right now, your project is on the front page, which means a lot of people liked it. Cheers!
