Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread on Org Mode syntax as a markup language for text. The one comment does not discuss the post itself, instead arguing that Emacs package maintainers care about usability and citing emacspeak and emacs-writing-studio.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 1 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.
What Hacker News says?
Your wish is our command... I'd argue that Emacs package maintainers care a lot about usability, in general. This extends to when they craft a package for general use. https://github.com/tvraman/emacspeak "the complete audio desktop" by our blind and sight-impaired friends, for our blind and sight-impaired friends (and others who must necessarily use speech interfaces) https://github.com/pprevos/emacs-writing-studio…
