Good idea, but I don't want to rely on an internet connection for this. I'd also just prefer to own the data. I use a simple Seinfeld-style habit tracker for mine: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.isoron.uha...

A pwa doesn't need an Internet connection. That's part of the definition of the term. Are you confusing the term with SPA? > A web application is considered a PWA if it satisfies the installation criteria, thus can work offline and can be added to the device's home screen

This is what all web apps should be like: Zero barrier to entry, loads instantly, self explanatory UI, privacy first. While I probably won't use it to track workouts, it only took me a few seconds to evaluate. Complexity will set in as you allow users to import, export, and sync data. But based on the great start you have here, I bet you can pull it off.

Then this should not be called "PWA"? When putting the iPhone in Flight Mode and deactivating WiFi, this site won’t load after it got added to the home screen.
