Update: I stopped doing extractions on most clients and their skin got better

So you basically stopped extractions cold turkey for most people. What percentage of clients would you say still need the occasional manual clearing?

Pro tip: I found a forgotten local history site by checking a library's old web directory.

Love finding those forgotten corners of the web.

I finally got my mud consistency perfect after a job in Tacoma last month.

Unpopular opinion: I still run a site with frames from 1998

Remember when browsers had that "open frame in new tab" option? That feature alone made frames way more usable for deep research. You could branch off without losing your place in the main nav. Modern SPAs often break that simple multi path workflow because they treat the whole page as one unit. Frames gave you independent pieces you could actually manage separately.
