Congrats! Looks great. Any plans for the future?
I wish we were more okay as a society with some good things staying good and simple.

I think OP's meaning was clear as it is. No need to put someone down over a small grammar mistake.
Correcting someone’s language is not putting them down.
A piece of feedback for the transition between two exercises. You may want to stop the bottom watch altogether during transition and - somewhere on top right -start a simple circular time animation 5..4..3 In the current form the transition looks bit confusing.
In any case, congrats again for the launch.

It certainly tends to be perceived that way by the person corrected. It's also debatable whether nitpicking on someone's grammar is "correcting their language", linguists tend to think it's not: https://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal...

Makes sense, thank you! I initially thought having the 'get ready for the next exercise' would help people understand that it's a break but given the feedback I definitely need the descriptions there too. Any idea on how to still make it clear that it's a break? Re: the beeps, couldn't agree more. While building it I also found them annoying but I deprioritised that for the first launch.
You could use this stretching video as inspiration: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAf67xFS-qE I've watched this one several times and like how she presents it.

I may be misremembering but I thought his wife and him (since they are co-authors) explicitly said something along the lines of don't even bother wasting time stretching. It's near or at the beginning of the first chapter. "Do it if it makes you feel good but it's a waste of time" or something. Please correct me if I'm misremembering or outright incorrect. I don't have the book nearby to check.
Historically his perspective was that it wasn't necessary . If you're getting full range of motion exercise, you don't need to stretch, because the exercise itself is doing what needs to be done.

I’m a non-native English speaker and I always appreciate corrections. Same is true for most non-native speakers I know personally. Most commonly I see this concern for possible offence at being corrected for bad English come from native English speakers, which is peculiar. (I don’t know if it’s true in this instance.)
