Why HN links it
HN readers link this site for the magnet-player demo, a browser-based catalogue for streaming torrent videos. The one comment points to it as an example of that feature, not as writing.

What Hacker News says?
Not sure - did Popcorn Time ever allow streaming torrents through the browser itself? Some torrent sites today have a streaming section where you can browse a catalogue and watch torrent videos right in the browser itself. Check out https://ferrolho.github.io/magnet-player/ for an example of this.
