Hi HN! This is a trail companion web app (think AllTrails) I hacked together in a couple weeks time. I was inspired to create this project while training for an extended backpacking trip. My motivation was to create a UI tailored exactly to my liking, and to be able to track my progress along the trail without draining my battery. I also wanted to experiment with PWA technologies. I successfully used it on my five day adventure along the Knobstone Trail in southern Indiana, and even though it's web-based it hardly consumed any battery life on my old first-gen Pixel XL. It's set up currently…

Just Log▲359Hi HN, I built Just Log after getting frustrated with fitness apps that were too complex for basic workout tracking. Most apps have social feeds, complicated interfaces, and features I never used. Just Log focuses on the essentials: quick workout logging, habit formation, and progress tracking without the bloat. Built it in a month while sharing the process publicly on Twitter. The app uses a minimalist approach - you can log a complete workout in seconds. No social features, no notifications, just simple tracking that helps build consistency. Launched on Product Hunt today. Android is live…

Hey HN, I built Pace, a Claude Connector that lets you connect all your wearables (Garmin, Polar, Whoop, 20+) with Claude. You connect your devices once and can analyze your data with Claude. No Dashboard needed, just in natural language. I already use it everyday, especially the visualization tool in Claude makes this really cool to use. Tools include: overview, sleep, training, activity, samples and trends. Tech Stack: Python (FastMCP), Google Cloud Run, Google Cloud SQL (PostgreSQL) and Firebase It is live and free to try (no Claude Pro/MAX Plan needed).. Would love feedback,…
