#32A 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! (Edit: for…
Feedback: A way to rearrange exercises A way to change the exercises I do in a workout over time (common practical point many gym trackers miss) Tracking a down or up set (weight starts at 100lb but next set you do 90lbs) These are all things you'll run into once you start using tracking/logging apps substantially. I've worked on my own tracker for these reasons and more, but can definitely attest that features for a…
Hi! Thank you very much for the feedback and I already have moving exercises around in the pipeline.
This is a very useful feature and but mostly useful for post workout logging and I decided to defer it to the next release which should be in a month or so :)
An easy way to increase/decrease weight is also a great idea.
Cheers,

Ruh ROH - you shouldn't really need cookies at all, I'll have a look asap and see what's wrong!

#34Workout logging is an interesting product/User Interface problem. There are a lot of workout logger apps, but not a single one has emerged as a clear leader in the space. Why is that? Also, a lot of tech savvy people that go to gym, still use the trusted pen'n'paper approach. Why is that? One reason is that training regimes differ a lot - a single app is unlikely to be a good for strength training (training is build…

Speaking for me: I need to track partial sets, shady reps, circle training setups and posture/alignment/speed reminders/observations to myself. Free text works best; the last thing I want to do when I'm shaking and sweating profusely is diddle around with how to enter something in a convoluted app setup. (To be fair, I do my "creative", i.e. SW design/architecture notetaking mostly on paper, too.)

THIS! I have been working out for the past 13 years and I've had exactly the same problem.
I still leave my phone in the locker, take my iPod from 2007 for music and log my workouts on pen/paper.
Recently, I've been hitting some plateaus and I desperately wanted to see what my progress has been over the years as a motivator and that's what lead me to make Ewolo.
I'm starting to use it to log workouts directly in the gym but old habits die hard, haha.

#36Was it necessary to mention React/Redux in the title? What value does it bring?

I've been reading and doing tutorials but I wanted to build something useful to really be able to compare it with angular/jQuery (where most of my experience has been).
I plan on writing a couple of blog posts on what I learnt as well plus the front-end is open-sourced on Github :)
I've been using Ewolo heavily myself and thought that it might be useful for others as well.

This is now fixed!

Can you upload a demo of the sheet you are using ( the paper one)?

One thing is that if your usual machine/stand is occupied you have to improvise with other exercise which for paper is trivial to do where in app you usually end up going through loads of menus to add custom exercise. I do not want to spend time waiting for stand or fiddling with app, I want to do my workout in 1 hour or less and go home do something more interesting.
