Credit goes to Bub for the inspiration and LadyKorine for the tips. I extracted the ladder.agx with BAE and adjusted the values myself, to my liking first, then made a 2x version.

- Community favorite with 2,144 endorsements and 127k downloads.
- Four speed choices let you dial in the exact pace you want.
- Lightweight and does exactly what it says—no bloat.
⚠️ Cons
