The Suns Out
29th Apr, 2026Don't worry, I'm still working on Bearly Fit!
The UI + UX for the workout plan generator has left me a little deflated.
And with the Sun out and the opportunity to build things, i've been chilling a bit with coding and instead focused on real life projects.
This is the workout summary screen, and after a bunch of iterations, I think I'm almost done!
Next I need to calculate sets + reps.
This should be easy in theory, but I want to base it on your previous workouts, averages etc - and I'm still doing some research around the best approach for that.
It would be cool to account for other factors too, like nutrition and body stats.
I'd also like to introduce "variations" to workout plans, so if you can't do one or two exercises one week you can create a variation that won't replace the plan, but lets you swap out some exercises for others just for that week.
Anddddd - splits, allowing you to plan in super sets.
But I think i'll add those features in a later release :) (scope creep and all that.)
Thanks for reading.
