This looks to be a pretty straight grab of Creative Tim's material/bootstrap admin theme with some other packages thrown on:

Or did this happen the other way around?

It's within the rules of engagement of open source, but it still feels weird.

Edit: (Removed some extra information that was here because I was personally mixed up about the maintenance / ownership boundaries of various packages)

Yes, it seems like it is ripped and then mangled. Some of it looks good, but overall I do not like it. It looks awkward to me - but perhaps it's just me.

I was skeptical about your comment at first since this layout is a pretty common dashboard style... but you are right. A lot of the elements are identical, which makes it a bit weird to be shared on HN. As a designer, I take inspiration from others work as well but I try to spin my own style into it, this just doesn't really feel genuine.
