Technically sign in with Apple doesn't cost money (directly) it's free to implement But you do need to have an active Apple Developer account (which is $99/year) to set it up and maintain it.

Yeah, HN hit hard earlier lol, we are now on the 2nd place so things should start calming down now (or no, lol), btw the app is already back up and running normally again! Sorry for that

Thanks a lot means a lot coming from a gym bro hehe Btw I totally agree: once you’ve been training a while, the only thing that really matters is tracking your progress and showing up consistently (or "mental" side in my case, i d

I love that idea. Yeah i know this app : it is a great example of how simple, adaptive progression can really motivate people (specially beginners). And yes I'd absolutely be interested in discussing a UI + flow for a self-adjusting pr

maybe some weird cache?? sorry about that é_è... cannot see the error anymore in the logs

Awesome would love to see this app! The idea of sharing your protocol (or full workout templates) is something I'm definitly building into Workout.cool as well. Users will be able to create routines, save them, and share them publicly

Really appreciate you giving it a shot! Adding it to your home screen is exactly the right move ahah i've done the same Would love to hear your thoughts after a week of usage feel free to drop feedback anytime, i will add a button in t

Thanks so much for this feedback The current onboarding assumes a bit too much knowledge up front (didn't expect that). Bcs yeah, most beginners don’t think in terms of "rear delts" or "lats" they just want to &quot

Thanks for flagging it should be fixed now !

Thanks mate. I'd love to hear more about your setup and if Workout.cool can fit as a "component" let's say? in your system, that's exactly the kind of use case I built it for. Open, hackable, and easy to plug into m

Mh no in this case, just... me. I posted this before going out to grab dinner with my sister, and honestly didn't expect any of this traction. Came back to dozens of comments, stars, traffic spikes, app down... lol

Thanks to you ,really cool to have a personal trainer trying it out. Yes, sharing workouts is on the roadmap. Users will be able to create routines, save them, and share them with others (even with public links) as the previous workout-lol

yup, glad it resonates with you :)

Thanks to you for testing the app !

Yeap,was due to some backend rate limiting issues (got unexpectedly HN'd lol), but should be fixed ! Thanks for calling it out !

Thanks for sharing your experience I’m glad to hear you're finding value in understanding muscle targeting. Bcs It's true that most beginners tend to think in terms of "full body" or "upper body" rather than do

Mh yeah i didn't expect that but it shows that the current flow assumes a bit too much knowledge up front, I"ve heard similar feedback from others. I'm already planning to make the filters optional, and add things like "

Hey actually came across wrkout.xyz a while back, really cool project! For this, i rebuilt the entire dataset from scratch with a partner to avoid any licensing ambiguity (especially with videos), and to have full control over attributes, t

Ohoh ! Vincenius !! You have no idea how happy I was when I saw your name pop up ahahha Yeah, no luck either. It really broke my heart to see the project stall like that. That's what pushed me to rebuild everything, keeping the same op

To be clear: I never owned workout.lol, I was just the main contributor. For the sell process, like with any open-source project whether it's an NPM package or anything else, there are no absolute guarantees... that's just the nat

Haha thank you! Wasn’t expecting this kind of attention so quickly tbh The issue should be fixed RN ! Definitely feeling the HN kiss of traffic right now lol, Ii’m scaling things up and fixing the bottlenecks Really appreciate you trying it

the original project was built in javascript with a NoSQL backend (mongo). I wanted to move to a more "new", (robust?) and maintainable stack with TypeScript and a SQL-based backend (PostgreSQL)

by surgomat 1y ago
the code was indeed MIT. The licensing issue I referred to was about the videos: many of them came from paid/licensed sources

by surgomat 1y ago
Yes totally unexpected! It is fixed right now. Traffic spiked and my backend rate limits kicked in too hard. Thanks so much for trying it out

Hey, the issue is fixed. I’m only embedding YouTube videos now, all with permission or public use from the original author. If you’re into 3D or want to help create open assets, I’d love to chat!

Does that mean that i got to do a mobile app? Do you think its worth it ?

by surgomat 1y ago
Thanks for your comment !

by surgomat 1y ago
Mhh yes that was a question. Bcs a lot of beginners don’t know what to do with certain equipment, but they do know what they want to train. That said, I’ll maybe make both paths easier and let users toggle between them! PR ares welcome

by surgomat 1y ago
That would be amazing I’d love to see your ideas make it into Workout.cool!! Let me know if you need help porting the PRs îll support and merge contributions quickly.

Thanks a lot for reporting! The traffic from HN hit hard (which I didn’t expect tbh). I’m working on stabilizing it and will have a fix in the next minutes / hour Appreciate you testing it out! thanks again.
