Really like this. For the timer you should use a mono font so it doesn't jump around so much as it's ticking down. A sound between stretches would be helpful for the times I can't see the screen. Would be good to be able toggle off/on.

Or if a mono font is too limiting - any font that supports the CSS rule `font-variant-numeric: tabular-nums` can be made to behave like a fixed-width font in this situation.

Earlier quoted context omitted.

Correcting someone’s language is not putting them down.

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...

I suspect part of this is that there's prescriptivist nitpicking and non-prescriptivist, uh, non-nitpicking.

Pointing out that "feedback" in uncountable is giving information on how to better match actual usage. A prescriptivist will agree with it, but so would a descriptivist.

Contrast this with "lion's share": traditionally, it meant "all", but nowadays is usually used to mean "most, but not all". If I convince someone that they should use it to mean "all", they'll be further from matching actual usage. I think that's what qualifies it as nitpicky and rude vs. just helpful.

This is excellent! I just followed along the routine and 2 small feedbacks: 1. Please show the instructions before the stretch begins. Right now it says get ready for the next stretch. It would be useful to be able to read instructions before the stretch starts. 2. Beeps can be slightly shorter. In long term, I can see it getting a little annoying. Other than that, excellent work and great illustrations. Thank you!

+1. I too had trouble understanding how to get started until I realized there were "get ready" prompts in-between the exercises. That could use more clarity. The illustrations looked great and were on-par with what is shown at our local gym.

15 min is too much for me to stay motivated, especially with all the other things I have to deal with, but I have been using that 5min routine in the morning to wake up my body https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef6LwAaB3_E

It worked well. I have done it for the past 6 months.

I have a (malfunctioning) beep but it doesn't work on mobile right now, I have to look into it. If you tried on desktop and it didn't work for you could you share what browser you used?
