Comments like this are just spam and don’t contribute anything to the discussion. If you have some interesting insights, share them, but don’t shift the discussion to your own completely unrelated project.
HN threads are conversations, and it's natural in a conversation for someone to connect a topic to something they were working on recently. That's not shifting discussion to something unrelated. I can see how one could interpret it just as an excuse for spamming one's project, but such an interpretation is just a guess, and if you apply the site guideline "Assume good faith", you'd guess the opposite. It's clear from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24801075 that the good-faith guess is the true one.
If you wouldn't mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html, we'd be grateful.
