I did web design in the 90's and remember one customer reviewing the site that I'd designed her. She said she liked it, but asked if I could add something like that neat little paper clip she has when she opens up Word, so it can help people navigate her site.

Note: Javascript was in its early days around this time so the idea of a dynamic/interactive site like this was not on the cards.

Makes sense. Nowadays there is literally a clippy npm package for react. Javascript has come a long ways. We have it easy compared to the old timers.
