H1 Editorial Hub + Forum Below
The idea: Top of the screen is premium and polished — featured guide hero, curated horizontal carousel. Then tab into either "All Guides" or "Community" for forum-style threads. The editorial stuff makes it feel legit; the forum keeps it alive.
E: Hero + carousel F: Stats bar D: Forum threads C: Tab split

Just discovered an incredible ramen spot on Grand St that nobody talks about. Tonkotsu broth is life-changing. Way better than the hyped places on Bedford.

Anyone else notice the construction on N 7th is getting louder? Started at 6am today. Is there a way to file a noise complaint?

H2 Single Stream — Guides & Threads Mixed
The idea: No tabs. One continuous feed that mixes polished guide cards and community threads together. Guides stand out with hero images; threads feel conversational. Topic filter pills at top to narrow down. The whole section feels alive — new content flowing in from both curated guides and community discussion.
E: Polished guide cards F: Stats + trending D: Forum threads inline

OK hear me out — Paulie Gee's slice shop is better than the sit-down restaurant. Fight me.

H3 Collections First + Community Pulse
The idea: Feels like opening a well-organized library. Curated collections up top (each one opens to multiple guides), then a "Community Pulse" section below with the latest threads and trending discussions. The polish is in the structure — everything has a place.
E: Collections + editorial F: Stats + dashboard D: Threads below

That new Thai place on 1st Ave is seriously underrated. Papaya salad is the real deal. Go before it gets discovered.

Lease renewal came in at +8%. Is that normal for EV right now? My building is rent stabilized but the landlord says it's the max allowed increase.

H4 Knowledge Vault — Search-First + Editorial + Forum
The idea: B's encyclopedia/vault feel as the foundation. Big search bar is the hero — "ask the vault anything." Below that, trending topics for quick access. Then a curated featured guide (E's editorial polish), wiki-style topic entries you can drill into (B's organized knowledge), and community threads at the bottom (D's forum energy). The whole thing feels like the neighborhood's brain.
