Took initiative and built a free offline workout tracker because I was tired of the bullshit.
The idea lived in my head for half a year. First drafts were confusing Kotlin + Jetpack Compose messes.
Then I paused it for school.
Half a year later I picked it up again with more experience, started fresh. Now it’s slowly coming together as I finish my studies.
It’s on the Play Store in early access. Holding off full release until it’s actually solid.
Android only for now (no money to do iOS too lol).
If you’ve been lifting for a while or you’re a locked-in beginner who actually logs your numbers - this might be worth checking.
Fully offline, no accounts, no ads, no paywalls.

What’s the most annoying thing about the workout trackers you’ve tried?

My point is that people have other thing they clearly care about and prioritize more. You will find the same individuals who share your passion, and you will find the ones who care about other things like: being good at their craft, getting their hours in to feed their families, thinking about their side hustle, and many other things. They dont have to be engaged in or care about the same interests as you. I am sure for people so considerate, you could've also thought about that.
@charloofers Welcome to the real world, where people have their own lives, interests, and opinions. Not everyone is looking for a worldview update from their coworkers.
what happened to being authentic?
in 5 minutes of scrolling the pattern is the same:
the post is either painfully relatable, or some random fuckass nonsense with a nonsense question in there to engagement farm (comments are dead, zero conversation, just a couple replies that die)
it’s comedy at this point
gonna have to do social experiment, ain’t no way we’re all conditioned like this
the pattern is that performative SWEs or the ones selling something make statements like: software is easy, coding is solved, they're ahead of the curve
real engineering has accountability, trade-offs, debugging, security, maintenance, and product judgement
(not limited to SWEs, just giving an example...)
