#32Good 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...

#33Neat that it's to the point - but some information would be welcome. Where is the date stored, for one. Future pricing?
Thank you!
There is no server syncing right now; everything is stored in the local storage of your browser. Current features will remain free. I might add a paid subscription for syncing data between devices in future.

There was an issue with caching. Just fixed, should now work offline without issues.
As of owning the data, right now everything is stored in the localstorage of your browser. So you technically own it. There is no way to export it yet though, will be added in future

#35Earlier quoted context omitted.
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
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.
Thank you for pointing that out. Just fixed, it should now be available to use offline
Re: Show HN: Workout Tracker PWA
#36Neat. Is there a way to backup or save results? I currently use Jefit on Android but have noticed the enshittification creeping in. It probably won't be long before seeing any historical data requires a monthly subscription.
Thank you for your feedback!
Ability to export and import data will be implemented soon.
As of subscriptions, current functionality will 100% remain free with data being stored on your device. I might add subscription to store data on the server and sync between devices in future.

#37This is simple I'll give it that but it does lack many critical features.
I've been using the Strong app on my iPhone for over a year as it seems to provide the simplest approach to workout tracking with enough detail without over cluttering the UI.
This solution needs more way exercises, particularly those using barbells, dumbbells, for instance there is no lat pulldown in the upper body section.
The solution needs the ability to add in the weight, sets and reps performed on particular exercises. I should then be able to reorder these exercises as part of the developed routine. Once I created a workout I could seem to create other different workouts, or replace/edit the workout I'd just created.
I think these are core requirements.
Then you can add in other nice to haves like timed rest periods between sets. Statistics around total volume, PB's both in a rep and set.
I implore you to check out the Strong app to see a well built app that is simple, not overly complicated and includes key features.

#38What libraries have you used?
Re: Show HN: Workout Tracker PWA
#39This 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.
Self explanatory UI is a helluva tall order, but I think my local-first PWA-aspiring software designs are instant, frictionless and, well, local-first and privacy conscious? Check out https://druthers.app with a friend.

#40Would love if I could self-host this with Docker.
There is currently no point in self-hosting this cause the data is not being synced to any server, it is stored on your device. I might add self-hosting option in future once syncing will be implemented.
