What's coming in v1?

This is what's going into v1 — the first version of SLED that hits the App Store. As much by what's missing as by what's there.

The hardest part of writing v1 has been deciding what not to put in it. Here's where I've landed.

What's in v1

• New A full-body workout: chest press, back rows, leg press, bicep curls, tricep extensions, abs. Three sets each.
• New One incline level for the whole workout. You move as a whole — not Level 4 chest, Level 2 legs.
• New Auto-progression. Reps climb +1 after every session. Hit 20, level up, raise the incline, reset to 10.
• New Milestones at 1, 3, 5, 10, 25, 50 — and beyond. Quiet recognition, no badges to chase.
• New A 2:30 rest timer between sets. Adjustable. Honest.
• New A weekly schedule. Pick which days are workout days.
• New A settings sheet with four knobs: rest period, incline level, rep increase, workout days. Set rep increase to zero if life gets hard.

What's not in v1

This list is deliberate. None of this is missing by accident.

• No per-exercise levels. One level applies to all six movements. You climb together.
• No multiple programs to choose from. The point is removing the choice.
• No leaderboards, no badges, no power-ups. Your milestone is real or it isn't.
• No social feed. Probably never.
• No Apple Watch app. Yet. It's on the list.
• No Android. Yet. Also on the list, further down.

I want to see what people actually miss before I add things. If a thing earns its place, you'll see it in a future release. If it doesn't, it won't.

Why so little

Because the part that's hard about working out isn't the workout. It's the showing up. Every feature I add is one more thing between you and pressing start. So I'd rather ship something that does one thing well than something that does five things and gets in your way.

v1 will be in the App Store when it's ready and not before.

If you're on the waitlist, thanks for waiting. The day the build ships, you'll know.
