Promoting an open source REST API framework

Hi, I've been working with C# and .NET for over a decade now and have always had a little side-project on the go. One in particular got a little out of hand so I've opened it up to the community, hoping to gain feedback and maybe even some contributors if I'm lucky!

Problem is, I've no idea how to "promote" it. A few posts I've read suggest posting to target communities, but this is a REST API framework, where is the target market? Is it just .NET developers in general?

The project is called Firestorm. The idea is you define your API fields as Expressions and an HTTP request puts these expressions together to build an `IQueryable` which is executed by Entity Framework. This means you get a full REST API with CRUD operations, advanced querying (e.g. ?name=Fred&sort=age) and pagination with very little code. I've implemented a TodoBackend sample to demonstrate this.

I hope this is an appropriate place to post this sort of thing. I'd really love some feedback or some ideas of where I could find people interested in this type of project. Thanks!
