There's not really much reason to put anything into them. The market moved so incredibly fast this past year there wasn't any motivation to do so. We have a property that three years ago was worth no more than $550k, we managed to

In a way, this is it: https://frame.work/ But really, these mockups are absolutely beautiful. IMHO easily among the best looking designs I've seen in computing. I think the framework's approach is a good one, it w
