Hi HN,<p>I&#x27;ve been working on this bodyweight fitness platform for the past few years, and I recently took time away from a job for a few months to travel + work on a mobile app. Here&#x27;s the initial (++ fixed some bugs) version. It&#x27;s free to use, however the logging functionality &#x2F; community is a paid feature.<p>---<p>Bodyweight Fitness workouts don&#x27;t use weights, so you can do them with minimal equipment. The reddit community &#x2F;r&#x2F;bodyweightfitness has created a routine for beginner-intermediate, called the &quot;Recommended Routine&quot;. This routine is built on progressions, which means that you swap out the exercise to increase the load, instead of adding more weight.<p>For example:<p><pre><code> 1. Incline Pushups (Easy) 2. Pushup (Harder) 3. Diamond Pushup (Harder yet) ... and so on. </code></pre> This is the meat and bones of this app, that it supports progression in a way that other apps don&#x27;t.<p>---<p>Tech: Backend was built in Meteor years ago, now I&#x27;ve migrated most parts of it to more modern technologies. In particular, the API is mostly a GraphQL&#x2F;Apollo layer, which has made development much easier because of the connected data.<p>The app itself is built with React Native. I evaluated Flutter briefly, but decided against it due to my existing knowledge of JS&#x2F;React, and the amount of documentation and community around RN.<p>Hope you enjoy, and I welcome any feedback!<p>- Shridhar
