Welcome

This is the first published article for The Independent Home.

This fixture matches the Streetcats publishing contract (body_format: markdown). Media is local for the pilot build.

Why this site exists

Practical independence for home life — energy, food, skills, and digital privacy — without the noise.

What you will find here

• Clear how-tos
• Evidence-backed guidance (editorial sources stay private in Streetcats)
• Articles that ship only as published revisions
