I've been a professional C, Perl, PHP and Python developer.
I'm an ex-sysadmin from the late 20th century.
These days I do more Javascript and CSS and whatnot, and promote UX and accessibility.
Ahmad, I know you relate your theme to the rest of the post by mentioning that you've updated it to cope with the new breadcrumbs, but I think it still comes across as an advert :)
On the other hand, I think there's no reason you shouldn't be proud of what you've made and make an informative post about it, telling us what motivated you, or what challenges it presented or what technical problems you had to overcome.

Thanks for sharing that. I didn't mean to advertise. I shared my open source work which is allowed here, I think even paid product promotion is allowed here as well as on Medium.
But I actually stopped everything I was doing when the release was launched, read it in entirety, created these gifs, shared what I liked about it, and then opened up my theme and started styling the new features right away. Spent two to three hours doing that and finally wrote this article.
After all that effort, for free, I didn't expect a comment about review begging which is clearly a bad choice of words and it's harmful to me and for other authors on Dev.to — I think behavior like this shouldn't be allowed.
I did my best to explain the situation I am in :) I hope it's worth something. Also goes to show that I intentionally kept the post small and don't shy away from writing more.
Peace! ✌️
