Prototypes & Exploration from Evan for Ladder
The experience today: Workout, Chat, Teams, Nutrition. Public.
/appIron Circle, a social training prototype.
/squadsProgram search exploration.
/flex-searchThe origin concept: one unified screen that answers "is this working?" Workouts, nutrition, and PRs on one timeline.
The Ladder Score reshaped: the goal-aware answer leads, the Momentum score follows, confidence stays as the trust layer.
Ben's latest build as he draws it (no Summary, one card style, the lift rail), plus what it does not have yet: Training's This Series card, a story on every card, Up next at the end of each marker, and locked pages with one clear action for members missing a source (new, no Apple Health, no food logging).
The blueprint, built: one experience, no toggles. Ben's latest build underneath (his Strength Map and a hero per marker) with v9's design on top and every call in: Training's This Series card, the cuts and folds, and Trends sections in the blueprint's order.
v10 piece by piece: every part of each marker in order, a one-line why, and the alternates tried across every version, pictures first.
Ben's idea of a hero per marker, worked through without props: Water's average as a level across its chart, and two chart options each for Water, Sleep, Steps, Macros and Bodyweight, each drawn the way only its own data can be. Live on his prototype's data.
Ben's v8 underneath (his data, windows, tabs and charts, run untouched) with Progress, simply's design on top: Today first (goals done, Training leading), This week, a story for every marker, one card per section, and view settings for the hero, goal looks and colours.
A fresh start from the survey: one screen, the six questions members asked, one number each, a chart only when you tap. Real training history, three member states, a monthly recap, share images.
Train / Fuel / Move as three glanceable rings, the middle rung between the score and the full stack.
The current generation. v5 carries Ben's six-piece ledger and the hero bench; v3 and v4 stay frozen for comparison; the unpacked page is the decision record.
