I built an app that personalizes home workouts
Hey HN, I’ve built and bootstrapped PARIAN. It designs personalized workouts so you reach your fitness goal quickly and efficiently. By training only with goal-specific exercises tailored to your experience level and preferred equipment (or just bodyweight), you skip the wasted time, effort, and disappointment. No more doom scrolling exercises, being overwhelmed by how to plan them, and being bombarded by noise from all the fitfluencers. You workout with confidence knowing each exercise is intentional and each session is moving you forward. Plus, you have the freedom to customize your…
In plain words
PARIAN is an app that generates personalized home workouts tailored to individual fitness goals, experience levels, and available equipment. It eliminates generic exercise routines by creating intentional training plans that progress toward specific objectives, whether using bodyweight or equipment. The app is designed for people who want efficient, confidence-building workouts without overwhelming choices or fitness influencer noise. Users can customize their programs at any point to maintain enjoyment and consistency in their training.

Hey HN, I’ve built and bootstrapped PARIAN. It designs personalized workouts so you reach your fitness goal quickly and efficiently. By training only with goal-specific exercises tailored to your experience level and preferred equipment (or just bodyweight), you skip the wasted time, effort, and disappointment. No more doom scrolling exercises, being overwhelmed by how to plan them, and being bombarded by noise from all the fitfluencers. You workout with confidence knowing each exercise is intentional and each session is moving you forward. Plus, you have the freedom to customize your program at any moment, ensuring the training is enjoyable - thus ensuring consistency. I believe fitness is not a lifestyle, but a core part of life and wanted to create something that will assist this pursuit of going after your fitness potential. And instill the excitement of all the new doors that will open up - bouldering, boxing, breakdancing, you name it. Being non technical I naturally leaned towards no-code platforms. Started building on Bubble in 2022 and launched the demo that December. I got some assistance from friends with html, css, and js along the way and officially launched the MVP in Feb 2023. The fitness app space is crowded, and ones that tailor workouts already exist—so why build this? Saturation is demand, and it’s easier to stand out in a crowd than to create your own market. When you break it down, most of the apps aren't personalized. Majority are workout trackers/loggers or just have a selection of pre-made workouts. The few apps that do personalize workouts create subpar programs with surface level tutorials and lack support, guidance, and customization. Additionally, even the most popular apps in this space have: — Questionable exercise selection — Exercise redundancy in the workouts — Excessive training volume — Require constant input throughout workouts The gap between 0 support and minimal structure (youtube/pdf plans), and hiring a personal trainer at a gym for hundreds of dollars is huge. While both have their time and place, I believe most would actually benefit working out with an app. Training from home, with bodyweight/available equipment is the fastest way to start that fitness journey - leveraging the device you spend the most time with. PARIAN is more than a workout tracker & planner - it’s a savvy training partner that guides you through personalized workouts and expedites your fitness journey.

Hi HN, I built Eigendrum, a web tool that solves the 2D wave equation for arbitrary shapes so you can hear what they sound like as drums. How it works: * Solves -∇²u = λu using finite element analysis (Kφ = λMφ) on a triangle mesh. * Validated to <0.1% error against closed-form solutions for circles (Bessel zeros) and rectangles. * Sound model factors in strike location, Rayleigh damping, and mallet width. * Includes Kac drums I & II to demonstrate identical sound spectra from different geometries. * No frameworks, build steps, or dependencies. Repo and tests:…
