Questions answered
Disclosure questions answered
How does CodeStackRadar decide when to label a link?
Links are labeled by relationship: affiliate, referral, sponsored, pending, manual, or editorial. The label should match the actual route configured for the destination.
Does a commission change the recommendation?
No. Monetization status is separate from editorial score. A tool still needs a clear use case, skip-if guidance, and stack fit to be recommended.
Why are firsthand testing claims limited?
The site avoids saying a tool was tested unless it was actually tested. Seed content can summarize fit and public positioning without inventing hands-on experience.
