Too few sampled comments (2) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Linked in a thread about SublimeGit, a Git integration for Sublime Text. The comments only suggest Xcode's FileMerge as a diff and merge tool and do not discuss the blog's writing.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 2 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

on “Multi-column style for Readability”I'd like to learn more about Safari Reader, too - especially the paginated-article collation feature, which is a real advantage over Readability.
