Story
What this project is really about
Treasure Among Us treats treasure hunting as research infrastructure. It is not just pages of notes; it is a source-graded vault where poems, hints, theories, facts, places, maps, and rabbit holes can be organized without losing the thread. The content system is built around markdown, reusable includes, box and hunt configuration, gated previews, and enough navigation to keep many simultaneous theories from collapsing into a mess.
The product voice is part archive, part field notebook, part paid research lab. Forum threads, Reddit polling, newsletter drafts, feedback, source indexes, and admin tools all orbit the same goal: help a serious hunt stay legible while still leaving room for creative leaps.
