Two of five pillars have zero articles:

  • buyer-prep ("Just bought a house?")
  • money-saving

On the homepage, these show as cards with "0 articles" — which undermines confidence. Visitors clicking through see "No articles published in this pillar yet."

Options:

  1. Write initial articles for both pillars (even 1-2 each)
  2. Hide or de-emphasize empty pillars from the homepage grid until content exists
  3. Add a "Coming soon" message instead of empty state

Given the site has 13 articles (10 in repairs alone), adding buyer-prep content is especially important for the site's stated audience of first-time homeowners.

Fixed in 75ae900 — empty pillars are now filtered out of the homepage grid. Only pillars with ≥1 article render as cards. Buyer-prep and money-saving will reappear automatically when content is added.

Closes #14

Implemented option 2+3 in commit 83da3ea:

index.tsx — Removed .filter() that hid empty pillars. All 5 pillars now always show in the grid. Pillars with 0 articles display an accent-colored Coming Soon badge instead of 0 article count. Cards remain clickable (pillar index page already handles empty state gracefully: "No articles published in this pillar yet. Check back soon.")

  • repairs → 10 articles
  • buyer-prep → Coming Soon
  • rooms → 2 articles
  • pro-vs-diy → 1 article
  • money-saving → Coming Soon
