#2I finished up the first round of my side project: PeerGym
http://www.peergym.com let's you search for quality gyms in your area by membership price and amenities - the kinds of things services like Google Maps and Yelp don't do. Most people do a particular kind of workout (running, weights), and need special equipment (treadmill, barbells), and you can't always guarantee you'll know what you're getting just by the name and a few pictures.
It was mostly an excuse for me to learn Elixir and Phoenix. I've tackled auth, uploads, geolocation/geospatial DBs, SSL and more, so it's been a lot of fun and hopefully I can turn this into some sort of tutorial series on building out a real-world app.
For the future I want to add reviews, community edits, and advanced filters to make them easier to search and populate. And hopefully, accept payments if people want to buy passes to their gyms online (or automatically renew their memberships.

Will you open source it? I wanna make something like this for yoga studios. How long did it take?

#4We're building a real estate research tool to help people find the right home based on their lifestyle.
This could be really interesting for us if ever there's traction. I'm particularly interested in ratings and reviews and the filtering capability.

What did you do on the deployment/hosting side?

#6How do gyms make it into the database? I'm looking at where I live (Brooklyn), and almost every single gym listed is a CrossFit gym. There are a considerable number of missing gyms.
Otherwise, this is awesome. I work out at home now, but when I was looking for a gym a while back, it was extremely annoying. New York is especially bad since most gyms are small and/or prioritize cardio equipment and weight machines as opposed to free weights. Anything with more than one squat rack is in Queens and/or has a huge price tag.

Nice, can you describe some of the interesting elements Elixir brought to development experience? How would you compare it to your previous tool of choice?
Great to see Elixir getting more use!

If you like this, you might be interested in my current startup Membi https://membi.co. It's a similar tool, for discovering sports and fitness venues in your local area. We're currently based in London, UK but growing quickly. Happy to have a chat if you want to know more.

That plus the funny squat rack per bench ratio …

#10For me up in the North of England, I only get two gyms. Both are in London which is not feasible in the slightest to get to.
