Great work! You've come up with a fanatic streamlined UI for both entering excercises and doing workouts.
You know you've hit on something great when everyone's reaction is to ask for more features. Here's my wishlist:
* Custom excercise names (so that your autocomplete doesn't have to be comprehensive)
* A timer during the exercises that are timed (I find it annoying while I'm in the gym to constantly set alarms for every exercise in every set and I can't always easily see a clock)
* Ability to add descriptions ("Remember to keep your back straight", settings on machines)
If this is open source, I'd be happy to contribute.
Great idea and great general model as a recipe or planning tool. The possibilities seem endless - adding structure (popular sequences of groups of exercises, complements or foci, etc.), adding voting, comments or open signup to plans, adding consequent metrics, expectations or cautions. Time reasoning and sequencing are hard for people. Workable representations can be challenging too. This excites the imagination in other application eras. Great stuff.
I was not saying it was lacking those features. Feature plans are aces up sleeves for new releases. Multi-release planning turns out to be a great way to "time box" the current release.
Love the concept. No login, super simple to use and well defined use case. There are a bunch of obvious features you could add like a timer or the ability to edit a workout, but I appreciate that you decided to get people using it first. I need this kind of discipline. Congrats and good luck!
Thank you so much for your kind words! Timer and edit workout features are coming soon. Browse workouts page and user logins are in the near future. :)
There's a pretty well-developed community around sharing swim training workouts already out there in a way that I haven't found an analogue to for weight training etc.
Some gyms do have pools. I don't swim when I go to the gym, but some people must. I imagine pools at a gym would be better for trying to get in a workout than a public pool.
