Too few sampled comments (1) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a 'No to Spy Pixels' thread. The one comment says the author mentions Hey only because it supports the spy pixel point. The comments do not judge the writing itself.
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.
Dave Smyth is a designer interested in user experience, privacy, accessibility, sustainability and ethics.
What Hacker News says?
I'm not seeing a connection between Dave Smyth ( https://davesmyth.com/ ) and Hey. I think he just mentions it because of it supports surfacing "spy pixel" use.
