Better Workout

Science says it only takes 5 minutes a day to see a difference. I’m here to help you bring those 5 minutes into your daily routine. 🏋🏼‍♂️

@AdrianAcostaPR @MartinLasek Awesome! I always feel like fire after the work out 👊🏻🔥

[Adrian Acosta @AdrianAcostaPR]

Just got my 5min #workout with the @BetterWorkout app made by @MartinLasek! 🥳 You should check it out. ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Just burned 20 calories during a 5min workout with 5 exercises 🔥

Releasing a new “patch” update for @BetterWorkout. The release notes for v1.8.1 are saying:

“Bug fixes and smaller performance improvements.”

Between me and you? All I did was just lower all prices.

@jspooner @MartinLasek That app looks good! Thanks for sharing 👊🏻✨

@ManuelWenner Hey Manuel, freut mich! Wenn du Feedback hast, ich bin offen für jede Kritik - vor allem für die harschesten. No joke 👊🏻😜

I just got a Facelift 😍

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

First ones to see the new things I’m building are on Twitch 👊🏻✨

Then it’s Twitter because I’m posting it here as text/image 🐦

At last Instagram/YouTube/TikTok as a video 🎥

News: I revamped all app pictures hoping to increase downloads + added workout images! #buildinpublic

@bubudrc @MartinLasek Adding a link alongside the image is actually a good idea for when posting on Twitter or Facebook! Didn’t think oft that. Thanks Marcelo! 👊🏻✨

Redesigning the "Workout Complete!" screen and also crafting a share-screen 👨🏻‍🎨

The hope is to enable users to share their proud accomplishments and with that implicitly the word about @BetterWorkout 🤞🏻😊

@mikemikina @MartinLasek @gid_dev It’s @Firebase but I don’t really like that I can’t create dashboards where I aggregate the data to analyze it efficiently (like in NewRelic) 🥲

I’d love to do something like:
Exited the app on PremiumScreen count:
PremiumOpened-PremiumClosed

But it doesn’t seem like you can 🥲

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

Remember the design I tweeted a few days ago?

In today's stream we started implementing it and this is how far we've come 🥳!

PS. The "cards" you see here have "clipsToBound=true" so how did I do it? Wrong answers only 😊!

It's January 1st. 11:30pm.
I re-designed the workout tab. ✨

Time to go to bed. 💤
Tomorrow I will start implementing the design. ✌🏻😴

#buildinpublic

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

When working on new features I always do the design first ☝🏻

I don’t want to code and wonder where to put certain UI elements resulting in incohesive UX 🙅🏻‍♂️

Once design is done (most of the time it’s brain dumping ~5 ideas) it’s just “translating” it into code 😊

#buildinpublic

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

Released a new version today with a new premium feature showing:

⏳ Workout time
🔥 Calorie burn
🏋🏻 Exercise count

Probably my favorite feature of the app now 😊

Here’s a link to the app if you want to have a look

Next update is exciting!

You’ll be able to see how many minutes you’ve spent sweating today 💦

But also how many calories you’ve burned 🔥

And how many exercises this took 🏋🏻

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

We only spent 2h on said new version.
The rest of the night we actually finished a big new premium feature "Today" that needed a database migration, UI design from scratch, coding the UI, logic, more 🚀

We were ready to ship it before the submission of the night was approved ✨

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

I streamed for 11h last night and we pulled something beautiful off! At stream start:

- We fixed a crucial bug
- Overhauled the whole introduction flow
- Submitted a new version

By next morning the app was reviewed, approved & released, while still streaming :D

#buildinpublic

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

Finished up the breadcrumb and the logic + database layer to convert & store user input! 🏋🏻‍♂️

NOW I have all I need to implement the next premium feature: calorie statistics! 🔥

Secretly hoping this adds enough value to the app to get my first paying customer 🤞🏻

#buildinpublic

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

I finished the 3 views to get your gender, height & weight (for calorie calculation) and started working on the animation.

I still have to show the breadcrumbs on top and only enable the "Next" button when the user has provided an input 🙂

#buildinpublic #iosdev

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

I realized that I am not really tracking what's happening in my app 🤔

So I went and defined 19 tracking points to really understand the bottle necks 🍾

Next update is going to give me a better insight of the usage of @Better_Workout 😍

#buildinpublic #iOSDev

[@martinlasek @martinlasek]

It took me a few hours to figure out how to combine all of the things I wanted here. But I’m happy I got it working and it’s done now! 🔥

Will submit a new version of @Better_Workout by end of day 🥳
