Ascent: progressive overload
Simple and efficient progressive overload tracker.
Ascent: progressive overload launched on August 21, 2026.
What it does
Ascent takes the guesswork out of progressive overload. Instead of manually tracking and calculating when to add reps or weight, the app does it automatically — you just show up and lift. Pick your progression style (Steady, Standard, or Driven), and Ascent handles the rest: auto rep/weight increases, pyramid training, train-to-failure tracking, and progress graphs. No account, no ads, works fully offline.

I made a weightlifting tracker app specifically for coders. In weightlifting, progressive overload is one of the most important parts of gaining muscle. You should constantly increase weights, reps, use different set schemes, and that will make your muscles grow. There're many weightlifting programs, using various overloading schemes - linear increasing of weights, some periodic ladder-up increase, switching to different set schemes in case of failures, etc. You can implement all of that in Liftosaur. It works this way: each exercise may define a bunch of variables, that could be changed…

Clipto MCP▲655Hey HN, We recently built Clipto. It’s a tool that lets you search over terabytes of video, audio, and images on your computer, without relying on the cloud. Motivation: we probably all had this similar experience, we know a moment exists in a video or audio, but finding it takes hours scrubbing the timeline. You can send all the media to process in the cloud, but it’s slow, expensive and raises privacy concerns. So we decided to build our own on-device media search engine. How it works (high level): 1. We ingest video, audio, image; normalize formats via ffmpeg; run content analysis to…

Hello HN! I found that picking out plausible but diverse skin tones for my digital art and game development projects was kind of difficult, and I got curious about if there was a way to define a color space that made it easy. I've built a color picker and procedural generation algorithm based on the space as well as a bunch of other fun js features and demos throughout the page that use the equations. If you find it interesting, I have lots of explanations of how I built it and what properties the space has. The methodology might be a bit shaky, but hopefully the result is as helpful for…
