Really good job, really good idea. My feedbacks are the same other told you. I would say it would be better if you suggest exercises one can do at the desk in an office. Some of the exercise simply cannot be performed in an office with other people! I think you are on a good way to a great side business project!

More feedback: I used it on my mobile but the screen went dark and the timer stopped. Is there a way for you to stop this? Awesome tool!

Thanks! I had a couple of things implemented to avoid this but they haven't worked in mobile (in desktop it behaves as expected AFAIK, not turning off the screen while in the routine). Do you mind sharing your OS and browser?

I'm using Firefox 112 on Android 12.

This is excellent! I just followed along the routine and 2 small feedbacks: 1. Please show the instructions before the stretch begins. Right now it says get ready for the next stretch. It would be useful to be able to read instructions before the stretch starts. 2. Beeps can be slightly shorter. In long term, I can see it getting a little annoying. Other than that, excellent work and great illustrations. Thank you!

Just fyi, feedback is uncountable, similar to knowledge. If you want to provide a number, you would say "2 small pieces of feedback"

"Deliverables" is not a real too, yet many consulting companies earn millions preparing them. Because, you know, you dont deliver the deliverables.

I created this side project for my partner, who is constantly complaining about how stiff his body is. Hopefully it’ll help other tech workers stretch out and feel better! (PS: this is my first project launch so any feedback would be greatly appreciated).

Is the intention to have tech workers do this during a short break or before, after work? Seeing the iconography of women in yoga clothes invokes “workout” which means “I do this before/after work” and “I need to change out of my work clothes.”

Or, you could just wear yoga clothes to work?

This is great!

I have a couple points of feedback:

If I accidentally click out, there's no way to recover my place. A forward arrow or option to start at any pose by clicking in the preview would fix that.

Some training poses would be helpful for those of us who can't touch the floor in triangle pose or can't maintain an upright torso in garland pose

It's truly an awesome project! The design is simple, yet beautiful and the illustrations are easy to understand. I kinda like the way it looks the same on desktop and mobile. Nowadays we don't often see solutions like this, but the UX is great on both devices!
