Hold yourself accountable for gym visits with a $10 stake

I don't go to the gym as much as I should or want to. To give myself some financial motivation I made this website. First you set a goal for how many days you'll hit the gym. To prove you're at the gym, you will verify each visit by pressing a button on your phone (with location sharing on). You stake $10 as motivation and if you hit your target, you get the money back. If you fail, your $10 goes to the "Save The Children" charity with a donation receipt emailed to you. Obviously you could visit the gym and then just go home without working out - but getting to the gym is half the battle!…

In plain words

This website helps people commit to gym visits by staking $10 on meeting their self-set attendance goals. Users set a target number of gym days, then verify each visit by pressing a button on their phone with location sharing enabled. If they hit their goal, they get their $10 back. If they miss it, the money goes to Save The Children charity with a donation receipt sent to them. The service uses Google sign-in and relies on the principle that reaching the gym is the hardest part of working out.

It's simple to use with a Google sign-in and hopefully it will encourage some people to workout (or give to charity)!

    I realized that the PDF engines of modern desktop browsers (PDFium and PDF.js) support JavaScript with enough I/O primitives to make a basic game like Tetris. It was a bit tricky to find a union of features that work in both engines, but in the end it turns out that showing/hiding annotation "fields" works well to make monochrome pixels, and keyboard input can be achieved by typing in a text input box. All in all it's quite janky but a nice reminder of how general purpose PDF scripting can be. The linked PDF is all ASCII so you can just open it in a text editor, or have a look at…
