Exercises you can do at work, emailed Mon-Fri

http://www.exercisesatwork.com/ I evolved this service over several months and since June it's in a state where I can show it to the public. The service is built on Google App Engine - an interesting experience on how the restrictions of the platform make you focus on the scalability of your app. Edit: wanted to add details as this might be interesting to HN. The challenge was to be able to get the emails and the associated timezones AND know what the time it is right now in that particular time zone. Then, I would have to email those records that would match the time, all this in 30…

    I am a software developer and in the last few months after recently becoming a father I was barely finding time for a proper workout.

So, I decided to build an iOS App for me and others to help with this. The app generates a list of exercises that I need to tick to complete daily or loose my streak. The algorithm takes into account muscle groups and balancing the exercises to hit most main muscles. I also stayed going through all…

    Hello, For quite some time, I've been unsatisfied with the built-in timers on both Android and iOS; especially for workouts, when I needed to set up a configurable number of series with rest periods in between. That's when I started thinking about building something myself. It was just a timer and I said to myself "how hard could it be?", I had no idea. The first iteration of the project worked "just fine", but the UI was an eyesore (even more than it is now), and the UX was quite awful as well.
