**Tagline:** "Skip the hype. Get the signal."
- **Focus:** Newsletter + content consumption
- **Key features:** Weekly digests, email subscription, tool directory
- **Design:** Warm amber/cream, editorial feel
- **Port:** 3002 (when running)

### Site C: 4Guys Arena
**Tagline:** "Where AI Opinions Clash"
- **Focus:** Interactive engagement
- **Key features:** Debate voting, "Which Host Are You?" quiz, position tracking

- `docs/SPEC-A.md` — Site A detailed spec
- `docs/SPEC-B.md` — Site B detailed spec
- `docs/SPEC-C.md` — Site C detailed spec
- `docs/COMPARISON.md` — Side-by-side comparison

- `site-b/` — AI Digest (built)
- `site-c/` — Arena (built)

## Recommendation

**For John's review:**

1. **Site A** is best if the goal is to help people find specific topics/tools discussed
2. **Site B** is best if growing an email list and content marketing is the goal
3. **Site C** is best for engagement, virality, and community building

All three could work well together - Site A for search, Site B for newsletters, Site C for social sharing.
