Which animal shares your body fat percentage?
I recently came across a youtube video about animals and their average body fat percentages.I thought it would be fun to compare my body fat to different animals and see which one I most resemble. This idea spiraled into a two-hour project, where I turned the data from the video into a JSON file, asked chatgpt to help create a UI, and deployed the whole thing on netlify. Pretty cool how fast we can quickly build random projects like this 10x faster with llms! Now that I’m typing this, I still have no clue why I made this... but here it is. Enjoy!
In plain words
This tool lets users input their body fat percentage and discover which animal has a similar composition. Built from animal data compiled into a JSON database, it provides a quick, lighthearted comparison between human and animal physiology. The application is designed for anyone curious about how their fitness metrics align with various species, offering an entertaining way to contextualize body composition data through an animal-matching interface.

- IBI built a virtual pet that gets stronger when you exerciseApr 2026 · motion-app.com · ▲7
Hello HN, I built Motion, a fitness app where your virtual pet (we call it a Motmot) grows and gets stronger as you become more active. I wanted a fitness app that didn't feel like a fitness app. Most tools are either data-heavy dashboards or generic streak counters. Neither kept me moving. I thought a creature that visibly reflects your health might create a different kind of attachment. The pet is tied to a broader system: weekly challenges against friends, points for any type of movement, and personalized goals that recalibrate based on your actual activity history rather than fixed…
- IMI made an app that rates your gym progress with AI2025 · aestheticrank.com · ▲6
I got tired of posting on r/fitness and getting unclear feedback, so I built an app that analyzes physique photos with AI. It started as a weekend project after I couldn't get good advice on my lifting progress. Upload a few pics and the AI tells you: Where you rank compared to others (using a gaming-style tier system) Scores for each muscle group with actual numbers Body proportions and balance issues Body fat estimates and body type I also added some fun stuff like matching you to a "warrior type" based on your build (turns out I'm built like a Viking, not the Spartan I was hoping…
- PTProject To Help Me Lose Weight2013 · ▲18
Hi! I made http://weightgrapher.com/ Essentially, all the websites I've used between FitBit, LoseIT and MyFitnessPal have really poor graphing. When I joined weight loss groups and forums I found most people are afraid of getting on the scale just because of how discouraging daily fluctuations can be. I aimed to fix this problem by bringing exponentially damped averages into the weight graphing, and educating on using your trending weight to see how you're doing instead of the up-and-down of raw numbers. Thoughts? Feedback?
- MFMy first Genetic Algorithm program2015 · ▲19
Wrote a program in FreeBASIC to try and find out how Genetic Algorithms work. It's a quick hack that I wrote to try some theories with because the Wikipedia Article on GAs reads like greek to me. So I built it from the general principles i knew at the time. The "genome" per individual is an array of 9000 integers but I used only monochrome pictures with either black or white; An individual also has a fitness score. There are 1000 individuals in the population and only two are selected to reproduce. So that makes 9 million (yes, MEELION as El Reg would write) data points and the scoring…
