Yes. I am trying to cut down -- I do occasionally run into issues with app
memory. Pages / Numbers can be hogs when you have lot of images and the like.

I do... but most are just for temp items and I should just close them.

Not a programmer -- but do a lot of editing and have text files I use for copy
and paste. Several are tied to discussions / responses I have made on Usenet
(really too many). Others are tied to some research I am doing for an anxiety
group I am in, another for looking for into on local plumbers (I had some work
done), and then even though I am not a programmer I have some projects open
where I am having AI code for me. Here is one I shared before -- tied to a
Daggerheart game I run:

https://rpg-cb1.pages.dev/GreenGlassDoor/

Also some notes for a person in my community I am helping with computer
issues. Used to do this as a side job, not mostly just to help people
generally for free.

I really can (and should) close some of these -- and generally do every day or
two.
