- Many HN users are programmers or work in other tech jobs.

- Many HN users use Slack at this job or have interacted with someone who does.

- Many HN users hate how Slack is an Electron app that consumes too many resources for the simple functions it performs.

- Many HN users follow app trends, including the fact everything is adding a dark mode lately.

These four reasons are why this would make it to the HN front page.
