The goal is to create a welcoming online presence that helps isolated teens find their people through uncommon hobbies. The site needs to feel: ✅ Authentic and relatable (not corporate) ✅ Modern and clean (but not over-designed) ✅ Trustworthy to parents ✅ Appealing to intellectually curious teens ✅ Easy for a non-technical person to maintain This is a meaningful project - you'll be helping build a real community for kids who need it.
