- Simplified Protocol Training to a single light-mode experience so the app is easier to polish, QA, and explain.
- Added the first consent-first coaching bridge foundation: athletes can review coach connections, open coach invite links, and revoke access.
- Added the underlying relationship and assignment groundwork needed to separate coach-assigned routines from athlete-created routines.
- Defined a safe base sharing model for future coaching workflows: adherence, assigned-routine context, and recent training activity without exposing private account or security data.
- Tightened the product direction around coaches as the paid control layer while keeping the training app focused on athletes doing the work.
Why
- We took a quieter stretch for user research, holidays, and a deeper rethink of the coach product direction.
- The first coach-app pass taught us what not to overbuild, so we rolled it back and restarted with a smaller bridge: explicit athlete consent first, then coach value on top.
- Light-only mode reduces design and QA overhead while we focus on the shortest path to useful, paid coach workflows.
Next
- Build the first coach-facing invite and client-management workflow on top of the bridge.
- Make assigned routines feel native inside the athlete training app.
- Keep optional sensitive data sharing explicit, granular, and athlete-controlled.
