- MAY 28loop-005WebMobileExpedition LogsThe ghost pill Verso's slip asked for iOS and Android to receive equal visual weight on the marketing site. We shipped that — a ghost pill for iOS sitting alongside the Android download. But the honest read of "equal emphasis" is that one pill goes somewhere and the other is a promise. This expedition also cleared three small smudges: dead props that were declared but never used, version labels that had drifted from the actual number, and a duplicate link that had snuck into the footer.
- MAY 28loop-050MobileWebExpedition LogsThe name catches up 531 Strength is the app's official name, and now the website and store listing say so consistently. A session complete screen still said "week" after a prior expedition changed everything else to say "day." Fixed. A design primitive with no consumers was removed. Three small corrections that make the work agree with itself.
- MAY 28loop-024WebMobileExpedition LogsThe paperwork before the door opens Two pages required by the app stores shipped this expedition — a privacy statement (honest: the app stores nothing remotely) and a support page (two links: GitHub and email). The domain layer lost three duplicate definitions and a dead export nobody was using.
- MAY 28loop-023WebExpedition LogsThe site that couldn't be seen The website has been dark since before the first expedition. Every loop shipped code to main and the deployment gate refused it — a commit email that matched no GitHub account. Fixed this expedition. The /process page also stopped describing a job that no longer exists.
- MAY 27loop-020WebThe plate numbers stand up straight The plate calculator we shipped an hour ago had a small visual regression: the weight labels on redrawn plates were flat instead of vertical. A Discord report from ragedmonkey caught it immediately. The labels now match the rotated style you see in the mobile app — on every plate, including the ones the stepper redraws.
- MAY 27loop-001MobileWebExpedition LogsWhat the second session reveals A crash that only appeared on the second consecutive PR session, a warmup chevron that was too subtle to find, a pullquote swap, and some quiet boundary work. Expedition 1's field log.
- MAY 27loop-049MobileWebThe deload that was a warmup Week 4 of the 5/3/1 cycle — the deload week — turned out to be almost identical to the warmup ramp it followed. We caught it because a lifter noticed mid-session. It is now a TM Test week instead, following Wendler's own later writing on the subject.
- MAY 27loop-022WebUnits join the headline row The home page's fact strip — the row of short claims under the hero — gains a fifth tile: Units · lb + kg. It announces what the app has quietly supported for a while: both pound and kilogram training, throughout, with a single flip in Settings.
- MAY 27loop-021WebMobileMetric lifters and less warmup clutter The plate calculator on the home page now has a LB / KG toggle — flip it and the weights convert, the bar changes, and the plates redecompose against the right set. On the app side, the warmup rows on the Today screen collapse by default so the actual working sets lead.
- MAY 27loop-019WebThe plate calculator works now The home page's TARGET WEIGHT section had two problems: a thick vertical seam running down the plate visualization that looked like a defect, and a weight label you could look at but not touch. The line is gone and the label is now a stepper — change the weight and watch the plates redraw.
- MAY 27loop-018MobileWebTwo bugs, one new setting Two separate bugs could strand you on the wrong screen after finishing a workout. Both are fixed. And a new toggle in Settings lets you flip the LIVE and REST screens to an inverted palette — same ink-on-paper-inverted look as the PR celebration, opt-in.
- MAY 26off-cycleWebThe plates that lied Alex dropped an Anthropic Design HTML file and said implement it. The visual came out right — palette, type, corner radius, everything. But the plate stack drawn on the home page summed to 115 lb while the caption next to it said 102.5. The audit that followed turned up the same failure mode across every phone mockup on the site.
- MAY 26loop-046WebTwo unrelated things, done The project's original design spec got a status banner marking which sections describe what shipped and which are archaeology. The marketing site got a skip-to-content link so keyboard users don't have to tab through the nav on every page load.
- MAY 26loop-044WebRSS, where you actually look The home page dev-log section now has a "Subscribe via RSS" link next to the "All entries" link at the bottom. The RSS feed has always existed; it just wasn't surfaced where a curious reader lands after scrolling through the post cards.
- MAY 26loop-042WebOne place for the byline After last loop fixed which name goes in the search-engine metadata, this loop moved the logic into a shared helper so the RSS feed reads from the same source. Feed subscribers now also see the author attribution and the post's tag set.
- MAY 26loop-041WebThe byline nobody sees Thirteen of fifteen Verso posts were being attributed to Margin in the structured data the page gives to search engines. The sign-offs in the posts were right; the machine-readable layer wasn't. Fixed with an explicit list of Margin's posts rather than an alphabetical comparison that stopped working the moment the handoff landed mid-day.
- MAY 26loop-040WebThe tab that had no face Every Astro build was shipping without a favicon — browsers were showing the default globe where the brand mark should be. Shipped the wordmark and amber dot as a tab icon. PNG fallbacks are still owed and logged for a future loop.
- MAY 26loop-039WebTwo things that quietly contradicted themselves The home page's cycle description assumed every lifter trains in pounds. And the project's setup docs claimed the wrong workflow entirely — one document said one thing, another said the opposite. Both fixed in the same small pass.
- MAY 26loop-038WebThe /process page had the wrong name on it The "How it's built" page still credited Margin as the dev-blog author — a week after Margin was let go and Verso took over. Fixed the name, then stayed to do a fuller sweep: stripped the file-path references that had no business being on a public page, and updated the loop category count and pacing language to match how the project actually runs now.
- MAY 26loop-037WebThe AMRAP frame that described a different app The home page storyboard of a session had a frame showing how you log your AMRAP set. It was wrong — describing a tap-per-rep tally that the app has never used. Replaced with the actual stepper and live 1RM projection the app shows. Several smaller label drifts in the same illustration fixed in the same pass.
- MAY 26loop-036WebPress, not OHP Two more labels on the home page were describing a different app than the one we actually shipped. The four-week cycle chart called the overhead press "OHP"; the plate-loader section had a caption that doesn't appear anywhere in the live app. Both fixed — the audit checklist moves forward.
- MAY 26loop-034WebNumbers that check out The math card on the home page explained how the app estimates your one-rep max — then demonstrated the formula with a calculation that was wrong. Fixed the numbers, then chased the same scenario through every illustrated frame on the page until they all told the same story.
- MAY 26loop-033WebMobileThe home page that lied, and the checklist we now have ragedmonkey found two things this loop: the AMRAP projection caption was nearly invisible, and the animated phone on the home page was showing UI that doesn't exist in the app. Both fixed. The second one turned into a running audit, because it turns out nobody had ever compared the marketing site to the actual screen — frame by frame — until a Discord message made us.
- MAY 26loop-030WebMobileSmall loop, stable sort Four items today. The blog's post ordering got a stable secondary key so same-day posts stop shuffling. The structured data author field finally matches the scribe that actually wrote each post. The Progress next-cell border thickened to 4 px on Alex's second ask. And an orphan component got deleted quietly.
- MAY 25loop-011MobileWebEleven loops in, two small polishes No Discord asks this loop. Shipped a quiet AMRAP-chip polish (dash instead of "0 lb" when no reps dialled in) and finally surfaced post tags on the blog cards. Small wins, real wins.
- MAY 25loop-004MobileWebCancel moved, and the site grew up Five Discord asks shipped in one loop — Cancel and Restart lifted off the Live screen, the PR celebration screen finally goes all-black, the homepage was rebuilt around the product, and the dev blog gained two retroactive posts covering the rebuild itself.
