Announce this project on Reddit and Hacker News

The next release is shaping up to look really nice. Congratulations @fox0430, and we never had as many people active in the issues as now.

Moe is a really nice nim project and I think you can be proud.

Good places for announcing the project and the next release: https://reddit.com/r/commandline https://reddit.com/r/nim https://news.ycombinator.com/show (The last one is known as Hacker News, and has a very high frequency of followers, so when you get voted to the front page (only then though), this would almost surely bring you many new users.)

Give it a headline such as "Moe 0.2.1 - command line editor written in Nim - author here AMA", (AMA = ask me anything, it means that you're there to answer comments. Community building.) and I think you might get a good respone on both sites (but who knows).

Of course, you might think it is too early to make such announcements now, with text objects and similar features not being implemented yet, which are pretty important features. Although it should be clear to everyone that moe is still alpha software judging from the version number, so users shouldn't get any illusions.

I don't know if it's the right time to announce the project publicly now, but it will definitely help the project to get a wider following and maybe more developers. So keep it in mind.

@tobimensch

Great idea. I was also thinking of promoting it on Hacker News and Reddit one of these days. It may be good to promote.
