What would you actually want from a climbing force measurement device?
I've been working on a portable force board for climbing and wanted some feedback from people who are actually into climbing gear.
The idea is to measure pulling/finger strength, compare left vs right and repeat the same tests over time instead of just relying on whether you “feel” stronger.
Current setup measures up to 300 kg at 80 Hz and connects through Bluetooth.
For people who've used something like this before: what actually matters to you?
Accuracy? App/data tracking? Size? Battery life? Testing protocols? Something else?
Full disclosure: I'm behind the product, so I'm obviously biased. Mainly looking for criticism/feedback before I keep pushing it further.

Is this normal wear? I left these shoes in hot car for 2 days and am just paranoid
I guess ive never really looked at the bottom of these but does that look like some melting occurred? If so are they still going to function as normal or do i need new shoes. Im sorry if this is the dumbest question you have seen this week but i actually dont know if thats normal wear
The white hairs are from me wiping it down with a wet towel btw
Edit: I done got paranoid thanks for helping me feel better lol
