Why HN links it
HN readers link HiveMQ's blog, especially its MQTT Essentials series, to explain MQTT topics, QoS and related concepts. Most links are cited as references rather than reviewed.

HN discussionIf you want to have a quick look at how the feed looks like, there is a web client for mqtt at http://www.hivemq.com/demos/websocket-client/ .
