I'm using Figma as just a design tool but now it's become our virtual whiteboard for the entire company. Never would have expected the collaboration features to be the real hook.
His "Things I use" page, one entry per tool with his own note on why. The page is undated and no dated source for it could be found. (undated page)

Figma is like Sketch but a million times more performant and cross-platform. It's the most impressive web app I've ever used.
His /uses page covering every part of his setup; the page discloses that a few of the links are affiliate links. Page carries no date; 2019-08-20 is its first Internet Archive snapshot.

I was a Sketch fan for years, but I’ve finally switched to Figma and it’s just miles ahead, especially when working with teams.
His /uses page. The page carries no publication date and says he keeps the list updated as his workflow changes; the date here is when the page was retrieved.

I also rely heavily on Dropbox, 1Password, an ancient copy of Photoshop, and Figma. Notes go in Notational Velocity, to-do lists in Wunderlist.

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.
