• Sub-chapters for deep dives
• Make links to chapters and graphs shareable (copy link)

Colophon/intro/research disclaimer

• Explain differences in our analysis vs Web Almanac CSS chapter https://almanac.httparchive.org/en/2022/css#usage
• Explain why this is needed (no CSS chapter for past 4 years in Almanac)
• Explain methods used for scraping and analyzing
• Make raw data available for download (via Gist?) Probably better to self-host
