day 883 building fitness app

A big part of my day nowadays is actually working on our fitness app. So, I thought I'd show you a bit of what the day-to-day is like. Our goal is to help people get to three plus workouts in their first week. This is one of the first steps towards helping them build a long-term workout habit with or without the app. And to do this, we look at the data. For example, we found that starting with more familiar exercises makes people more likely to come back for their second workout. Even things like button text might matter, though some of these end up being inconclusive. The tricky part is that a lot of findings aren't what we initially think. For example, some people say they want more complicated workouts, but they end up not sticking with it. But I'm currently still filming a bunch of extra exercises for people that do want it. We want to make it simple and clear for the people that want simple and clear while still giving the ability to customize for people that want that. I was thinking about adding the ability for people to share the workouts they've made with each other and maybe adding fitness challenges because I know that motivates some people. We keep in close touch with support to see what people want. And of course, if I encounter a bug, I go to turbo coder mode to immediately eliminate it. And by coding, I mean messaging our dev team. Sincerely, Hampton. When I first started out, I thought the process would be about adding a bunch of features, but seems to be more about finding the few key things people really care about and trying to make those as good as possible. Anyway, that's a small part of it. I'm happy to show more if anyone wants to see. Have a beautiful day.
