Simple first step
Membership should stay lightweight at the start: Sign Up, Sign In, community trust, and a clear sense of why someone would join.

This route is the intentional placeholder for founding member and community framing — keeping signup simple, preserving trust, and avoiding the old AustiNight/Tourist or Years in Austin questions on the first pass.

Founding member framing
This route gives the product a clean community/founding-member destination without shoving old profile questions back into the first signup experience.
No scope creep
The page remains intentional without touching auth logic, modal behavior, Supabase wiring, or broader profile/badge systems that are still out of scope.
Curated / permissioned imagery first. No unmoderated uploads at launch. Homepage shell remains locked while these routes act as intentional next-step destinations.
