Rowing club platform

One-liner: “Platform for rowing clubs to design, deliver and track athlete performance.” Two attempts at this exist — skyAnOar (just the pitch, now deleted) and mRow (the actual build).

Origin: mRow repo, Rails app, ~2018. The only surviving evidence of this idea now that skyAnOar has been deleted.

Evidence from code — real domain modeling was done:

• Models: crew, roster, roster_member, group, attendance, training_session, workout, attempt, score, user, plus ability.rb (CanCanCan authorization — implies multiple roles, e.g. coach vs. athlete)
• Dev notes (devnotes/manage_workout_attempts.txt) show real design thinking:
  • A Workout is a template/plan for a Training Session
  • A Workout is made of Attempts — an ordered list of exercises/tests with measurable performance (e.g. distance per time: 250m/500m/1000m/2000m races)
  • Once a Workout has been used in a past Training Session (results registered), it becomes immutable — a new Workout must be created instead of editing
  • Notes flag open design questions (e.g. “consider using a common table with a differentiator for various attempt types”)

Status: Further along than a raw idea — real data modeling and domain thinking happened, but no evidence of a working UI, deployment, or actual usage. Captured here (exploring) rather than raw because of that design work, and rather than active because nothing indicates it went further than schema/model design.

Open question: Worth revisiting only if there’s a live audience (a rowing club you have access to) to validate against — otherwise this is same-shaped as CourtIQ (percentage tennis) and the wine app: a sports/hobby performance-tracking niche you keep returning to.
