So… someone in the industry bought it hoping to stop a free alternative from getting popular? Wonder what will happen to this one

From what I can see this is AI generated, and it doesn't work when you press continue.

lmao

This is cool, as someone whose been lifting for ~5 years its nice to see a fleshed out opensource tool for weightlifting. The main problem with any app I've tried is that after enough experience the bells and whistles of the app don't really matter and mostly what you care about is consistent tracking for progressive overload. I think this is a good app for people who want to get started weightlifting I would say the…

Thanks a lot means a lot coming from a gym bro hehe

Btw I totally agree: once you’ve been training a while, the only thing that really matters is tracking your progress and showing up consistently (or "mental" side in my case, i do not train anymore for performances).

Good news : saving + tracking routines over time is in the roadmap.

That's why the architecture of the "workout session" is the part that is the most different from the old app.

I want users to create, reuse, share, analyse and evolve their own training blocks with minimal friction.

Would love to hear how you handled that in your own PWA sounds like we've walked similar paths :)

I don't want to track any of this myself. I want to walk into a gym, have some cameras follow me around, and have it analyze what I did while I was there, including statistics over time.

Wow I really do not want this…cameras to track you in a gym? What kind of dystopia is that?

I think the servers can’t handle the high traffic from HN, you can clone the repo and run your own

To be fair, the cameras are already there. This would just make them more useful I guess?

Yeah, HN hit hard earlier lol, we are now on the 2nd place so things should start calming down now (or no, lol), btw the app is already back up and running normally again!

Sorry for that
