I came into the github not expecting to like this, but you've done a great job so far! I currently use a combination of Garmin Connect (track on watch & head unit), Intervals.icu (for fitness/freshness and more obvious tracking of performance improvement over time via various power & HR metrics), Strava (for segment and route performance change over time, and of course the social aspect... and routing), Komoot (only…

Re: Show HN: Workout Tracker – self-hosted, single binary web application
#83I love the minor movement toward self-hosted web apps. I wish they were easy enough to setup as installing an app on Android or iPhone.
I think a good question to ask is, what is gained here by being a web app? Couldn't this just be an Android or iPhone (or even desktop!) app?

How many things do you self host and how do you manage them all?
$ kubectl get deployments.apps | wc -l 25 Minus the header, looks like ~24. I use a single-node Kubernetes cluster running Talos [1]. Running a single-node cluster is kinda dumb architecturally, but adding a new service takes deployment: : spec: template: spec: { containers: [{ ports: [...] command: [...] volumeMounts: [...] }] volumes: [...] } And then running: cue export \ --out yaml \ --expression 'deployment. ' \…

I exercises like a fiend yet your slavish adherence to logging and scrutinizing these numbers sounds exhausting in comparison. Are you a world class athlete trying to shave .02 seconds off a 10K? If not, try just going outside for a jog or mountain bike with some friends and go home and relax once. I bet your biometrics end up the same, if not better, and you don't even need to check.

Yeah. I was also gleefully looking cause lifting trackers are universally garbage. Diet trackers (Calorie Counters) are also almost universally a pain in the ass, but at least they’re tolerable. There is not a single combined lifestyle experience that is any “good” IMO.
Very curious about what you dislike about lifting trackers. I built a weightlifting tracker primarily for myself a little while ago and also published it. I tried to keep the UX as simple as possible. If you're ever looking to try out another app, give it a shot! https://titangymapp.com .
I was wondering where you got the data from to know what muscle group is used in each exercise?

Yes, GPX based workouts. Did you look at FitoTrack?

Re: Show HN: Workout Tracker – self-hosted, single binary web application
#89Slightly off topic, but I got tired of looking for a good weight training tracker, so instead I bought a notebook and a pencil and I've been using it for nearly two years. If I want to change up how I long my workouts, I just write them in a different way. I've changed how I log number of sets/reps, weight per set, etc, a few times and I've never had to re-program how the info is displayed. I log how I feel after the…
I have a Google Keep note where I record the results from the last workout. I figured out I really only need that. I don't need history, I just need to know how long ago was the last workout, how much did I lift / time under tension, so I can make a decision about today's program. I love fancy graphs for my endurance work but for lifting, I feel like this is pretty much all I really need.
eg. Exercise | SetsReps | Feb 26 | Mar 1
----------------------------------------------------------
Dumbbell Chest Press | 3 x 8 | 65, 8 8 8 | 70, 8 8 5
Dumbbell Chest Fly | 3 x 8 | 16, 8 8 8 | 20, 8 8 6
Exercise | Sets x Reps | Feb 28 | Mar 3
----------------------------------------------------------
Knee Jumps | 3 x 8 | BW, 8 8 8 | BW, 8 8 8
Pull-ups. | 3 x AMRAP | 4, 3, 2. | 3, 3, 2
KB Swings | 10M EMOM | (216) 10M | (2*16) F@7M
Bent DB Row | 3x8. | (swap cable row) 60, 8 8 8 | 40, 8 8 8

I wonder how the accurate the biometrics even are on things like smarth watches ?
