kg/lb Unit Switching — Now Works Everywhere
This was the big one this week. Previously, toggling between kilograms and pounds only affected the calculators. Now it's truly global — switching units instantly updates your charts, PR displays, tonnage totals, strength standards, and year recap across the entire app. Your preference is also remembered between visits.
As a bonus: the app now auto-detects your preferred unit from your data on first load. If most of your logged lifts are in kg, it defaults to kg — no manual setup needed.
And to make the toggle a little more fun: switching units now fires a small emoji confetti burst from the button. The emojis cycle through themed sets so it's never quite the same twice.
Dashboard — Consistency Grade Circles
Your training consistency grades are now displayed as visual circles right on the home dashboard, so you can see your weekly and monthly consistency at a glance without navigating to the Analyzer. Hover over any circle for a tooltip with more detail, or click to go straight to the full Consistency section.
Consistency fairness fix: The weekly grade window now has a one-day buffer, so you don't get penalized first thing in the morning before you've had a chance to train. If a session is about to age out of the window and drop your grade, the tooltip will now warn you — "lift today to keep your grade" — rather than the previous unhelpful message.
Strength Standards Chart — Focused and Motivating
The mini strength standards chart (visible on lift insight pages) previously showed all standards from Beginner to Elite regardless of your level. It now shows only the standards you've already reached, plus exactly one next target to aim for. No point showing Elite to someone just starting out — the chart is now cleaner and more encouraging.
Chart Hover — Smoother and More Responsive
Hovering over a chart to see the session details card is now noticeably smoother. The sync between chart hover and the session card below now uses a smarter approach that scales with how much data you have, keeping things snappy whether you have 50 sessions or 5,000.
Feedback Widget — More Visible and Contextual
The feedback button (bottom-right of most pages) got a polish pass. It's more visible, shows different prompts depending on which page you're on, and has a wider variety of messages to keep it feeling fresh rather than repetitive.
Articles — Now Shareable
Article pages now have share buttons, making it easy to send a strength training article to a friend or training partner.
Under the Hood
A significant dependency upgrade landed this week: Next.js was updated from version 14 to 16, and React from version 18 to 19. These are the core frameworks the app runs on. The upgrade brings performance improvements, better memory usage, and keeps the app on a supported, secure foundation. A number of chart regressions introduced by the update were caught and fixed before release. Several other libraries were also updated, and three unused packages were removed to keep things lean.
As always — if something looks off after this week's changes, a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R / Cmd+Shift+R) usually clears it up. And use the feedback button to let us know!
Keep lifting.
