Too few sampled comments (25) to say how often HN recommends it.?
Why HN links it
Marmelab's blog is mostly linked for its react-admin framework, which most comments discuss rather than the posts. The auto-documented Makefile post is the one readers point others to.
Summarised by Claude from a sample of 25 HN comments that link here. Each comment is marked recommending, critical or neutral (citing without judging); how this works.

What Hacker News says?
This even has a name, "monkey testing". Basically some software that pretends to be a monkey in front of a computer and mashes random buttons and keys to make the application behave badly. Usually you only care about the application not breaking in monkey tests. Can be used similarly to "fuzzing" but for UIs as well, see Gremlins.js: https://marmelab.com/blog/2020/06/02/gremlins-2.html

HN discussionGive react-admin [0], the post author’s react framework, a glimpse. If you develop an ERP/CRM like react app, you‘ve probably rebuilt parts of react-admin already, but you did it worse. Ah, and their source code is a breeze of fresh air. [0] https://marmelab.com/react-admin/

HN discussionWe've use the blur+contrast approach successfully in EventDrops [1], a time series visualisation based on d3.js. It all happens client-side, with OK performance. Not sure the SVG approach brings more in this case. [1] https://marmelab.com/EventDrops/

HN discussionThanks, appreciate the pointer - the idea of adopting something potentially a future standard through a polyfill is appealing. @pvg I take your point about lack of browser support, but that's what polyfills are for after all! :) In the meantime since asking I also came across restful.js (github [1], blog [2]) - it's new, but looks like a good framework-neutral alternative, if a little heavy at 27K minimised/uncompre…

HN discussionI've been using the free, open-source React Admin https://marmelab.com/react-admin/ framework for this use case, and I really like how it works and how little code I need to write. I used it to quickly build an internal CMS, and it handles relational stuff well. For instance, if I have pieces of content, each of which can have multiple tags, it handles all the tag lookups using typical REST API calls. Also integrate…

HN discussionI disagree. Admins are complex. See https://marmelab.com/react-admin-demo/ , it's a (fully working) admin built with material design and it uses about 30 specialized styled components. Think notifications, toolbars, menus, grids, etc.
