https://fivethreeone.app/ https://fivethreeone.app/ a weightlifting app for 5/3/1 has been earning me ~$1000 a month for over two years now.
I'm actively working on a successor that allows you to create your own custom workout programs using formulas: https://vis.fitness https://vis.fitness
- greenknight 10mo agoLove the AI generated image, "Extra-Large (>72pt) Font". Made me chuckle. Definetly a feature of the app. But looks really cool ill be trialing it this week!
- strongpigeon 10mo agoSend me an email (see my profile) if you want to try the custom program creation. I’m starting the beta this week.
- sonderotis 10mo agoWow this is pretty cool. I am working on my first mobile app. what tips can you give. I am planning to build in public on twitter, substack and share my coding process here on HN. It is a carpooling app.
- strongpigeon 10mo agoDon’t rely on organic App Store traffic until you’ve hit a certain size.
- aaronbrethorst 10mo agoWhat’s the sweet pup’s name?
- strongpigeon 10mo agoHer name is Greta
- asdlkj178 10mo agoDid you do any marketing for fivethreeone?
- strongpigeon 10mo agoI started with some Apple Search ads which worked pretty well and then did some IG ads which worked well too. I haven’t done any in a while though. Bing and Google ads had really bad results
- plastic_bag 10mo agoThank you for building this! I've been using the app for almost a year after I switched to the Boring But Big routine.
- strongpigeon 10mo agoYou’re very welcome. I’ve used it for more than 500 workouts myself, but now that I have young kids, I don’t have the time to do 5/3/1 anymore.
- ycombinete 10mo agoThat looks very cool. Are you planning on adding Apple Watch integration? I cannot stand having to fiddle with my phone while at the gym.
- strongpigeon 10mo agoYes (for Vis) but I have a medium size list of stuff I want to get to before I work on the watch app. You can control it via Siri, though that only really works in a home gym
- djmips 10mo agoThis app is not available for your device I have a Pixel 6 Pro. That's not thaat old.
- egamirorrim 10mo agoThat's proper old
- snovv_crash 10mo agoA Nexus 6 is proper old.
- viraptor 10mo ago4 years. We really should support devices that old. Unless you really need features only available in newer models (which 99% of apps don't)
- strongpigeon 10mo agoLet me check why that is.
- Libidinalecon 10mo agoI assume you have some kind of partnership with Jim Wendler? The periodization sounds really cool but the success of the app I would think is based entirely on the good marketing Wendler and Elitefts did with 5/3/1.
- asimovDev 10mo agoNice! I used to use it when doing BBB 5/3/1. Sadly I stalled and got depressed. Recently started GZCLP after getting sad at how bad I started to look with no activity My one complaint was that there weren’t more sophisticated training regiments. I didn’t work 5/2 weeks so I just went to the gym every other day and I just clicked whatever in the app when working out, while I would prefer to track my days. Otherwise solid app, thanks for the hard work.
- strongpigeon 10mo agoSupporting more sophisticated training regiments is exactly what I’m trying to achieve with Vis. Would love your feedback on it if you got any (email in profile)
- dumfries 10mo agoThis is a perfect example of taking a simple idea and elevating it/ executing it well. Well done! As someone that has used 531 for a while, I thought an app like this would not add much value. I mean, we can all track our progress in a spreadsheet. But I must say that it looks great. This stuff is inspiring to see..
- strongpigeon 10mo agoThank you! I created it literally because I thought updating spreadsheets on my phone was too clunky. And yeah having the rest timer with notification was useful to keep the pace.
- andysinclair 10mo agoLooks really good, will try it. What is your revenue split, tip vs non tips? I've always wondered if putting a tip button on a free app could generate significant income.
- strongpigeon 10mo agoTips are insignificant compared to the paid features. On iOS for the last 6 months I made $5090. $31 was tip. That being said, it feels really nice that people like it so much they’re willing to pay extra.
- ahhmki 10mo ago"This app isn't available for your device because it was made for an older version of Android" Using android 15 on a Nothing Phone 1. Any chance to get it working?
- strongpigeon 10mo agoYeah that shouldn’t be happening. I’ll take a look today
