Yes, this is a crucial feature that is coming verrrry soon! It's especially motivating to see how well you have done compared to how much effort you put in.
This plus some neat graphs on what your personal records are :)

#4A couple of other cool features in the works are
- Add goals and ability to track weight
- CSV export, take your data and use excel to make your own charts if you're looking for something specific
- Youtube links to videos for exercises for proper form.
A really cool long term feature would be to use some ML to allow exercise discovery / make workout recommendations based on goals.
All feedback is welcome!

#5You may want to change the wording on the "Why Ewolo?" page. At a glance, it looks like you are saying it is: platform specific, not user friendly, and not flexible.
That may just be for users like me who see the title, then go straight to reading the bullet points.

That's good advice - I will think about how to redo the text then. Thank you!

#7why is it's only merit that it's built with react/redux? Is it not enough to solve a particular problem of workout tracking, that you must do so using the development framework of the day?

> Account only required if you wish to save your workouts.
this is a WORKOUT LOGGER. What am I doing, as a user, if not logging my workouts? There is no other value proposition. Users do not benefit from entering their workout histories and NOT hitting save - and this site only does one thing. It would be like seeing in a food store "checkout only required if you wish to purchase your items".
As an effort to launch a product, it's commendable. Lots of checkboxes to hit, and not nothing to hit them. But if you're ACTUALLY trying to launch this as a real service... There is much to be desired - and it has nothing to do with CSV exports or using react to do it.

Hello and thanks for your feedback!
Part of making this service was to learn React/Redux and see how different it is to Angular. I've read quite a bit but there's nothing quite like learning by doing something bigger than a todo app - the front-end is open sourced on Github and I plan on writing a few blog posts on what I've learnt building Ewolo, hence the title.
Regarding the text, I wanted to let people know that they can try out the interface without needing an account. I agree with you that it sounds a bit dumb and I'll try to word this better :)
If you have any more ideas on what it would take to really hit it out of the park, I'm all ears!

Personally : I don't really care about any of those features, what I'd need to use this service everiday is simply a more polished UX (unnecessary no-timeout notifications, the kg-lb thing, etc).

Excellent, these notifications are starting to annoy me as well and a few people have mentioned the kg-lb thing so I'm definitely going to prioritize that.
I think a sensible approach would be to set an account default but still provide the button to allow data input in whatever unit. Or is the button then totally unnecessary? What do you think?
