WEB/BED
The same short workout every day, with a group of friends. Two leaderboards, one for showing up and one for going hard, so beginners do not quit on day three.

§01
why
Nico and I worked out that the only way we would keep training was competing. So we built the place to compete: the same short workout every day, your friends on the board next to you.
§02
the two boards
The whole thing turns on one problem: if you rank people by how much they lift, the beginner is last on day one and gone by day three.
So there are two boards. Consistency pays the same ten points to everyone who finishes a round, whatever their level, plus a streak bonus. Performance multiplies rounds by your level. A beginner can lead the board that matters just by turning up, and the competitive half lives somewhere it cannot discourage anyone.
Streaks never reset between seasons, even though the points do.

where it is now
Written in 41 commits over about 40 hours, then nothing.
It has not really worked. We are not using it, which is its own kind of result for an app whose entire job was motivation.
