Hey everyone,

I here is a small open-source project I've been working on lately. I'd love to hear your thoughts and improvement ideas :)

Looks great, but I just tried on my mobile and after selecting equipment, there's no way to get to the next step

It seems you have to click on the next step in the stepper above. But I agree that a “next” button would make more sense

There was a small bug with the button on some browsers - should be fixed now :)

I think this misses an initial step: Your goal. I'm not very experienced with all the different types of gym equipment and what you use them for.

I'd love to see recommendations if my goal would be to build up some muscle and lose weight, and why this would be recommended.

Then this would be very useful for me

Very cool but it shows me workouts requiring a pull up bar when I said I don't have it (only selected body weight and dumbbell then chose biceps and back)

Yes! I agree, it'd also be nice if the "select equipment you want to use" instead was "select what you have available".

I'm a noob. I have some stuff. Show me what I can do with it!
