I've got a new book project, "Learn Ruby on Rails" that I'm launching with a Kickstarter campaign (the book is nearly complete).

Should I post it as "Show HN" or just submit the link?

[edit: removed the link because I don't want to be spammy]

View on HN

Please don't hesitate to post links to your own work. You're putting serious effort into providing value to the community. How else will we know about it?

Here's the link:

I believe "Show HN" is for showing something you've made that other people can try out. In other words, it's for when the thing is ready, not when it's being funded. (Or, pet peeve, for collecting email addresses with a landing page that looks deceptively like a product).
