Thanks! Yes, I also feel like it’s the right call. Initially the app was more like other plan-then-work, I even created a small library of different workout routines for myself. But more and more often I found myself editing the plan too often, and it created friction during training…

So to figure out empty view, fill in workout as you go — became my big goal. Challenge was in UX. Adding desired exercise or even creating a new one mid training should be possible with VERY few taps.

After many (too many 😅) iterations, I’m quite happy how it works. I use it fairly regularly myself 🙂 there is room for improvement of course still…

An empty workout in Workout Notes looks a lot like my plan on some days 😅

Luckily, I can fill it in as I go. Add an exercise when I get to it, add sets as I do them. By the time I’m done, it looks like I had a plan all along.

@amybuildsAI Followed you too 🤝

[Volodymyr Akimenko @VolodymyrAI]

What’s your day job, and what do you build after hours?

I’m curious how often the two have anything to do with each other. Post about what you’re making, I’d like to follow along. Let’s #connect 🤝

@alexander_biba Hey man! Connection established :)
What you’re working on lately?

[Volodymyr Akimenko @VolodymyrAI]

How many of you are doing (or started doing) X and other social networks as a result of building a product?

🫣 I didn't use a single social network until 2 weeks ago. So... let's #connect? 👉👈

Fun fact, even my dogs have Instagram 🐶🐕 (managed by my wife)

@elsie__victor Have a nice one!

@a_shimanski Wish you bigger invoices from CloudFlare in the future I guess, hehe 😅
Congrats!

@zakisbuilding Holly cow... 5 TikTok account posting 10 times daily.
I just created one and still dreading posting a single thing.
Tbh, I was very "not social networks" until I decided to release my app eventually. So started from X (which feels easier than Insta and TikTok)

@philippeduvin We sort of tried the same, but it just gets so chaotic sometimes that my calendar blocks quietly chill alone :)

[Volodymyr Akimenko @VolodymyrAI]

@BuildByAman @philippeduvin Done on my side as well 🤝

Yes, it does. Moreover, rest intervals can be configured on any level: from template to ongoing workout. Even for past workouts you can tweak rest-times.

I went "full flexibility" with the notes. I like how I used my paper notebook. With all the edits mid way, etc. So tired to preserve it the app.

Four work sets on the bench, five minutes between them. That's 15 minutes of the workout before we count any lifting ⏳

I put a time estimate on the routine in Workout Notes, rests included. Handy when I've only got an hour.
