The comments on reddit about this are as you might imagine.

Anyone ever tested sending this back to Claude?

Am I cooked?

Also, if you're into fitness and want an app that works around your and your busy lives. Maybe sign up here?

I'm only going to email out when its ready for testing.

I don't have time to spam people 🤣

Definitely need to promote my apps waiting list.

Also need to build the social media accounts out.

Also need to actually build the app!

Some of this will be getting outsourced very soon. 👀

Yeah, time to add a WAF rule in Cloudflare to see who from China is a real human.

Very abnormal traffic that.

What are you all using for paywalls in mobile apps?

- RevenueCat
- Adapty
- Superwall

These seem to be the big three unless I've missed some.

New iOS - Fancy bubble glass slider thingy

Waiting for someone to release a UI Kit now to add backwards compatibility effect to older versions of iOS.

This Nano Banana camera is pretty insane.

Mobile browsers only, though.

I did with mine when it was on 99

For context, today was 87 after 10 hours sleep and I feel pretty groggy.

More modern Garmin devices have a feature to wake you up in a certain time window at the optimal time

If you find yourself suddenly looking for an alternative to NextJS, I highly recommend Astro.

https://astro.build/

I've been using this for years now to create rapid frontends for my and my clients' sites.

Time to start seeing what sort of backend applications I can make with this now.

Been waiting for a project to update for the last 20 or so mins.

Didn't actually merge the pull request in.

Well that's a new record on the Garmin sleep score.

I get the feeling somewhere in the 8-9 hours mark is the magic marker.

Everything behind SetReps runs from here!

This is going to be one huge, comprehensive database of exercises when I'm done!

If there's one thing I don't mind using tools like Claude code for, it's pulling together simple admin interfaces to create a frontend for Supabase tables.
