Don't Paywall 'Future Date Planning' Feature -- this is CrippleWare
I have a coach over at FasCat and we’re using your product to collaborate. It seems like a great platform for coaches.
For myself, I am infuriated by the fact that I’m not able to move things around on the calendar unless said things are in the past. From my perspective, the platform is a glorified shared calendar. I thought about how to say that in a potentially less injurious manner but I think being frank is more helpful. I don’t use or think in terms of CTL and the other acronyms — I have other means to assess training stress. Training stress also comes from a variety of activities that TP can’t track accurately (e.g. whether I did 10 or 12 reps of my 70% 1RM deadlift this week with 1 RIR).
I spent a decade working at Apple and we’d often talk about ‘surprise and delight’ features and how they’re the ones that consumers value the most. For me, moving events around on a calendar is merely expected functionality — it is not in the 'surprise and delight' category.
Maybe for users being coached, that calendaring feature can be included or something. I assume some portion of the coaching fee goes your way. I understand you guys need revenue but the value proposition here is that I pay $129/yr or something like that for a merely expected calendar feature.
