This is awesome feedback, and it's intuitively aligned to what I now know to be true about this space. (Alas...) So many great points in here that I can't respond back in appreciat…

Awesome, thanks for offering. Definitely up for it. An easy way to reach me is my username at gmail.

Definitely makes sense to me, too! There' a clear customer profile, it solves a specific problem, and I could reach this audience with an offering with relatively little time + exp…

Great perspective here, I appreciate it! I am very much still an optimist on the future of the app and my ability to monetize it. As I synthesize much of this post and these commen…

> although most people that are into CrossFit will just go to a CrossFit gym... Yes, this is seems to be the case for the most part, though I'm still exploring the "garage gym athl…

Yup :) The original inspiration for the app was when I was looking around the gym during one of the The Opens and listening to people 'strategize' about the workout. "Don't come ou…

100% -- and the comments on this post have really helped me to find some more clarity and gain confidence in taking some more aggressive next steps in that direction!

I think you're right. Starting to up the social media game right now on IG!

Great thoughts here! I think you're right. You wouldn't know it from the website (working on that!), but the app experience is more for "fit people who want to optimize their fitne…

Definitely. I'm also more a technical founder profile than not, and it takes real work for me to try to "sell", which is ironic, right? I (obviously) love this app, but to try and …

Thanks! Good thoughts here... I've considered 3 models: 1 - Standard B2C - Basically, what's out there now. Try to go after end users directly 2 - B2B2C(-ish) - Basically, what you…

To date, the most I've done is add a "nag screen paywall" in the app that presents a monthly subscription as an in app purchase. It's not enforced (yet), so it's more of an "option…

Amen! Thank for that encouragement. I think you are right. I need to be calculated and disciplined about it. A short-break would do me some good, and I'm sure my family would agree…

This is a REALLY GOOD point of feedback. I have done literally nothing for ASO, and what you are saying reflects the reality that I don't see many organic downloads in the App Stor…

Great feedback! A lot of the core UI/UX has been built around training to hit specific targets/splits for metabolic conditioning workouts, analyze those splits, etc. In other words…

That's the second time I've heard about Mad Muscles just this week. I will definitely check it out. Framing a compelling offer is a gap I definitely need to fill, and I appreciate …

It's all good, and I'm genuinely enjoying these interactions here on HN. Literally nothing to lose and everything to gain from the dialogue, and I do help it's of some benefit to o…

Over the course of a few years, I've easily spent more than $500k on the iOS + watchOS engineering alone. (Keep in mind that I started from a clean slate, there have been multiple …

Wise words, and there are good takeaways for me here! It's time to land this version of the product, freeze the code for a while (sans major bug fixes), and get some high fidelity …

This is 100% valid feedback, and I appreciate that you took the time to share it. I'm at that point, where I need some "brutal truth" to help me navigate the next few steps... I de…

That's awesome advice, thank you! You are sharing some concepts and ideas I've been digesting, so that's encouraging. > This is assuming that your app has any actual value it offer…

Preach! :) I appreciate the thoughtfulness + candor of the reply, and I think you are right about these things. This is the kind of "real talk" that I need! Sounds like that's a +1…

Financially, I don't need the app to produce income to keep my life on track...but the opportunity cost of continuing to sink so much time + life force into it is substantial (even…

Empire of the Summer Moon (S.C. Gwynne) It's the story of the rise + fall of the Comanches in the late 1800s. So far, it's an unbelievable story, and if you're generally interested…
