Comment on Show HN: Minimal, self-hosted exercise tracker

Comments

I like simple, but this looks almost _too_ simple. You say you got burned out on metrics, but where you see clutter and distraction, I see data for identifying patterns. I track my measurements and like to see how much weight I'm lifting and how far I'm running over time. IME, it's easy to get stuck on a plateau and not really notice it when life gets busy and "get the workout over with" starts to become the only goal.

Right now, I'm following established programs and tracking what I do in a Google spreadsheet. I certainly don't love relying on Google but I need to be able to edit and view my workouts from both my computer at home (for planning) and on my phone at the gym (for entering data).
