Why HN links it

Linked in comments as a 2013 post on who owns flat design, written by the blog's CTO after LayerVault's DMCA takedown of Flat-UI. The comments only cite it and do not judge it.

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.
