Last year my coaching software raised prices 67% after adding wearables integration, a nutrition module, and a stock exercise video library.

I didn't need any of that. I needed fast workout programming and lift tracking.

So I built it myself. Thread 🧵

@Grummz The only time I’ve see these god awful abominations is from accounts like yours that I actually enjoy following. Can we please not put this crap in the timeline?

[David Abdemoulaie @hobodave]

@MrAndyNgo @HantsPolice That’s so much worse than I expected.

[David Abdemoulaie @hobodave]

Also, one thing that might make a difference. When I see “Josh at Granite” it immediately goes into a box in my brain. That’s possibly a me thing. I use my full name instead of Dave at CoachSync. I run the risk of people not knowing who the hell I am, but *shrug* they can open it to see.

@Shpigford I have an opt-in newsletter. I could ask there, but haven’t needed to. I have in-app feedback channels, but I wouldn’t seek bulk feedback using them. (I’m not implying your list isn’t opt-in)

[David Abdemoulaie @hobodave]

@Shpigford 1. They look like spam. 2. I literally never want to receive a single email from any service I use unless it’s transactional. Best case those hit my Hey screener and get screened out forever, or worst case they get marked spam.

Yea this dude has never felt Arizona heat. I grew up in D.C. and we’d get a god awful week or two in July of > 95 F temperatures with 98% humidity. Absolutely miserable. Just sticky and gross.

I had always heard dry heat is better. It is for sure, but you walk out into a sunny 120 F Arizona day and a health bar immediately appears above your head. Arizona and Texas are the only places I’ve felt heat like that and thought, “Damn. This can actually kill me.”

If 85 F kills you, lol.

This guy’s YT channel is gold. Well worth $1,000. Unaffiliated.

[David Abdemoulaie @hobodave]

Team Abdemoulaie. Two records down, deadlift to go.

[David Abdemoulaie @hobodave]

Two for two. Audrey hit 65 kg on her bench opener for her second WPC World Record of the day. Missed 70 on the second, passed on the third. Deadlift up next.

[David Abdemoulaie @hobodave]

Audrey just set a WPC World Record. 150 kg squat, T13-15 82.5 kg class at APF/AAPF Nationals. Two years of training, twice a week. She went for 152.5 next and missed but I've never been prouder. Bench up next.

@_vincentritter Thank you!

[David Abdemoulaie @hobodave]

This was a blast to build!

Brand new website now up and running. Big thanks to @hobodave for rebuilding everything from the ground up.

Opus 4.7 completely unusable today. Direct skill invocation completely ignored. Claude glances at SKILL.md and poorly approximates the detailed instructions of the skill. It's never been this bad.

Gave up and switched to Codex.

@mattshumer_ I’ve been very happy with GPT 5.5. Still has some idiosyncratic issues but they’ve really rounded out some rough edges

@wolfstrength Aren't they all just songs about Daddy?
