Software dev building @sapphironapp, a workout app. Sharing what I ship, what breaks and what I learn. Training through rehab while I'm at it.

My training lived in four places: sessions in Notes, timers in another app, WODs in screenshots, progress in my head. I'm also lazy, and all that friction made skipping a workout easy.

So I started building one place for all of it.

@ExactlyJosh Is it? My app is free to use, is different from what most people is doing, and 🤷

@skpnky Not using @sapphironapp (see what I did there?)

[David Salmerón @emlasd]

@Kedeodev I have asked everyone to test my app and no one has done it, so I haven't got to the part where I tell them they have to pay 😅

[David Salmerón @emlasd]

@manxlab Not quitting for me (I don't have any of the others)

[David Salmerón @emlasd]

@SuiBuilds I have only one, claude, and I'd keep it. It's not that I believe that the others are bad, but I'm used to it.

[David Salmerón @emlasd]

My own app told me to go heavier today: 14 of 14 rounds on the Armor Building Complex, four sessions in a row.

Devs who train: how do you decide when to move up a bell or a plate?

Let me know in the comments!

[David Salmerón @emlasd]

@QuietFSoftware Good choice my friend

[David Salmerón @emlasd]

Kettlebell people who also write code: let's connect.

I train mostly with kettlebells and I'm building a workout app solo. Curious what your go-to session looks like.

Part 5 of how Sapphiron works: making workouts harder at the right moment.

Progression suggestions read your logged history and propose a harder version of a routine.

New: if a block says 3–5 rounds and you hit 5, workout mode offers one at the end. Not mid-set.

[David Salmerón @emlasd]

@ChezluiCJar Awesome! will take a look!
