Ad?
Is it really an ad since the tool is open source and free?
"a notice or announcement in a public medium promoting a product, service, or event or publicizing a job vacancy."
definition by Google
This is an ad
Counter point:
The software in question is not for sale, therefore is not a "product", and this post is not an ad.
Looks like one.
I feel like if OP had worded it in a more community-oriented manner it wouldn't have read like an ad. Not into it
