Behind the scenes · how LimiterIQ is being built.

Smart Calendar shipped this week. The weekly view, day strip, today's highlight, move/modify flows, missed-workout safety net. Took 3 build cycles to get right, kept stripping it back. The original spec had 12 sub-pages, ended up with 6 because the others were duplicating existing pages. Pages I cut and why: calendar-insights (folded into the weekly focus banner on limiter-plan), calendar-settings (already in profile-training), safety-check (already in workout-start-gate), swap-equipment (already in workout-modify's equipment reason path), the two 'confirmed' pages (better as inline alerts on the action pages themselves).

The orphan problem. Audit found 9 pages with zero incoming links. 4 are intentional (Stripe returns + error pages). 5 are real navigation problems, marketing pages I forgot to link from anywhere. Next pass: adding a Company footer column with About / Roadmap / Changelog / Press kit / Referrals / Success stories. One change, 5 orphans closed, ~400 site-wide refs added.

Going to be honest about the launch timeline. The prototype is comprehensive, 81 pages, every flow documented, every page in DNA. But it's still a prototype. To actually take payments and serve real plans I need: Stripe price ID (1 hour), Supabase setup with the schema (2-3 days), webhook + access middleware (2 days), AI plan generation route (3-4 days), real auth (1-2 days), lawyer review of privacy + terms (1 week elapsed). Realistic: 4-6 weeks to first paid member. I'll keep posting here as it progresses.
