Why I Built Furnish
I am 18 and based in Garden City, Michigan. I started building apps because I kept noticing problems no one was solving. Furnish is one of those problems.

Skeleton, content drafted in conversation thread
This post is a Phase 7 skeleton. Frontmatter is locked; the body is drafted by Claude in the conversation thread per Document 7 editorial workflow, edited by Hassan, then committed in place of this placeholder.
This is the only post in the launch set written in Hassan's first- person voice (per Document 7 editorial rule 4). All other posts use the editorial "we" of The Furnish Edit. The body draws from the locked Founder Note copy already in src/content/i18n/en/home.json plus expanded reflections.
Target word count: 1,000. Outbound retailer links: 0 (this post does not push affiliate links; it builds founder credibility). FTC disclosure renders at the top regardless. CTA box at the end.
