Hey stranger, thanks for visiting.

Chill a bit, here's my short introduction:

Keep iterating.

Make ←→ Learn ←→ Improve

Keep creating, tuning, improving, playing with any mēkhanē that works.

What a beautiful day.

[George 🌐 Longovitis @GLongovitis]

Right now I'm focusing on good ol' valor and physical strength, through Alke, Gama, and one more app I'm tweaking (it's named Squeeze today, I will change that soon).

Mēkhanai is a lot more than machines, as my banner says.

In a way, everything we do is a mēkhanē (singular of mekhanai), as long as it helps us solve a problem...
and almost everything is, one way or another.

[George 🌐 Longovitis @GLongovitis]

Wish there was more time.
To have fun more.
To make more.
To learn more.

But then I think we could have a lot less.

Thanks Jack London.

Why Hindu Squats?

The toes and ankles regain the flexibility shoes and chairs take away.
Full range of motion through the knee, not just the middle of it.
No equipment, no rack, no plates.
Not even a serious warmup. This can be your warmup.

Have fun with it,

Leveling up push-ups:
Level 0 → just the stance
Level 1 → good ol' push-ups
Level 2 → hindu push-ups (dands)
Level 3 → levels 0-2 on repeat, but more and better

Alke went from a 4-page, see-at-end card to an interactive UI.
Live changes. Simpler options. More features.
Minimalistic experience.

Took longer than expected, but then again, first time building something like that.

Time to make more cards.

[George 🌐 Longovitis @GLongovitis]

Wrong USP. Wrong UI. Wrong UX.
But you can't edit a blank page.

The Great Gama workout is a tribute for, well, the Great Gama, the legendary undefeated wrestler, of 5,000 fights in 50 years and 0 loses:

5,000 Baithaks (Hindu Squats).

Before you build anything, you only see the limitless opportunities.

When you start, you start to see your shortcomings.

Then, you see what you lack to escape the valley.

Then, you keep going if you want it enough.

Then, you win.

@NewMentalities All I had was the desire and not much else.
Sometimes it does help to be delusional.

For the past, for the present, for the future self,
to win the good fight:
Use you.
Use pain.
Use ideas.
Use thymos.
Use boredom.
Use exhaustion.
