loved

Android Studio - Based on IntelliJ, I use Android Studio for any Android development. This is probably my favorite IDE. Although I liked Sublime for its speed and being lightweight, Android Studio is so robust and provides so many helpful features during development. It is a proper IDE.

Pretty much my bread and butter

His /uses page, "a list of all gadgets and softwares that I use daily for work, hobby & fun", with a one-line verdict on each. The date here is the last commit to the page's own content file, app/data/usesData.ts in his site repo ishubhamsingh/my-portfolio.

Every entry is a verbatim quote and a link to the public post it came from. Nothing is paraphrased. If it is not on record somewhere public, it is not here.

The verdict is what they actually said: loved and liked are explicit; recommended means they told others to get it; uses means they only say they use it; read is a book on their public shelf with no verdict; mixed and disliked are kept too.

A dashed affiliate link, sponsored or their own label means the post disclosed a relationship. It is shown, never hidden.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is for its kind of thing.

The shading behind a date shows how dated a recommendation is, for its kind of thing. Fully green is recent. It drains a quarter at a time as the post gets older, and is empty once it reads as dated.

What counts as old depends on the thing. A laptop praised four years ago has been replaced twice; a book loved twenty years ago is probably still loved. The shading is gone after about:

Stripes mean the post carries no date and the date shown is an estimate. No date at all, no shading.
