Why HN links it
HN readers link plausible.coop as an example of a worker-owned tech co-operative (Plausible Labs) and point to its VoodooPad product page. The comments cite the site rather than judging its writing.

If anyone's interested in reading about cooperativism in the tech world, a starting point is http://techworker.coop/ I can't think of many tech companies that are coops.
