How do you guys promote open-source projects?

Recently, we built an open-source pixel-art editor tool, called PixelCraft, It's on github,

https://github.com/rgab1508/PixelCraft

We had not intended to promote it and even without promotion, it started getting 15-20 stars, so, we decided to write a detailed documentation to use it, after that, it got more attention from the community. It feels like the project has potential to grow, I want to utilise that by putting some effort into promotion.

I would love to hear feedback from dev community and also suggestions on how do I get this project to it's target audience, Please recommend some ways to promote it, your help will be highly appreciated.

I suggest to search "How to promote Open Source projects", you can find few articles about the topic. Also I've created Article how to do SEO, which is a way to promote your project in Google: SEO for Open Source projects.
