Dashboard layout mockups — 5 directions

Each layout answers a different question about what the Dashboard should do first: rest you, prompt you, orient you, move you forward, or connect you to others.

For Kristin · from the May 12 planning session · these are static HTML, not wired up — click tabs to compare

1. Calm Hub

Spacious landing with a single prompt at center — the Dashboard as a pause before action, not a task list.

"Finally showed up to the morning walk three days running — it changed everything."

"Finished the Presence audit. It was harder than I expected, and I learned so much."

❤️ 12 👏 6
SR

"Gratitude streak hit 30. I thought I'd never be someone who journals daily."

🌟 18 🔥 7
AT

"Tried the evening reflection practice. Slept better than I have in months."

❤️ 5 🌟 9
Prominent: The gratitude prompt owns the hero — members land on an invitation, not a to-do list.
Trade-off: Experiment progress and Joy Profile are real but secondary; members who care most about tracking phases may feel they have to hunt.
Best for: Members who log in daily for a moment of reflection rather than to check on progress — the journaling-first archetype.

2. Daily Ritual

The Dashboard as a daily practice card — gratitude input dominates, announcements shrink to a sensible size.

Prominent: The gratitude entry dominates — the member's first action is writing, not clicking.
Trade-off: Joy Profile is absent above the fold; members who haven't done Discovery won't feel its pull from here.
Best for: Members with an established daily practice who want the Dashboard to feel like a ritual checkpoint, not a nav menu.

3. Joy Profile First

The radar chart as the anchor — your profile is the compass, and everything else radiates from who you are.

Phase 2 of 4 · 47% complete
Prominent: The full 16-axis radar is the visual anchor — the member immediately sees their shape and feels known.
Trade-off: Large chart requires scroll before reaching action items; members who haven't finished Discovery will land on an empty or partial radar.
Best for: Members who are introspectively driven and use the profile as their north star for choosing what to work on next.

4. Phase Timeline

Progress as a physical journey — members see exactly where they are in the arc and what comes next.

Prominent: The phase timeline makes progress tangible — members know exactly where they stand and what they’re working toward.
Trade-off: Heavily experiment-centric; members not actively enrolled in anything will land on a mostly-empty left rail.
Best for: Goal-oriented members who are motivated by completion arcs and want to see the finish line from where they are.

5. Community Pulse

Arrive to see what others are experiencing — the community feed as the gravitational center, personal state in the right rail.

"I finally stayed in the discomfort instead of reaching for my phone. Three full minutes of just sitting with the feeling. It sounds small but it genuinely wasn’t."

Re-run audit
Prominent: The Joy Wins feed dominates — members arrive to witness and be witnessed, which reinforces the community dimension of the practice.
Trade-off: Personal progress tracking is secondary; members who care primarily about their own journey have to look right to find it.
Best for: Members who are energized by social proof and community resonance — they do the work better when they feel part of something moving.
