🚀 Ultimate Android Reference

Usually, when I'm looking for a library for my new project I go to awesome-android or android-arsenal. They have a plenty list of libs but a lot of them are not well tested and pretty unknown. Moreover, frequently there are 10+ libraries for each topic and it's not so easy to choose the right one.

Today I discovered these guys: Ultimate Android Reference. They are focused on most popular and well-tested resources only. Each library from the list are well known and frequently used.
