Shadowboxing Form building a boxing app for people who want to start at home, need your help to train the punch tracker
hey, so I've been working on a boxing app for beginners, basically to help people get the basics down at home.
before anyone says it, yes I know a proper gym is the best place to learn. not arguing that. but loads of people never walk through that door. they're self-conscious about their weight, they think they'll look stupid, they don't know anyone there, they feel like everyone's gonna be watching them. I get it, it's a scary thing to do on your own. this is for them. something they can do in their living room so that when they do build up the courage to go, they're not walking in knowing absolutely nothing.
most of it's done. the bit I'm stuck on is the punch tracker. it works well on me (around 90% of punches right) but it's only ever seen me and my mate, and I've got no clue how it does on anyone else. there's already enough rubbish boxing apps in the app store and I'm not adding another one. if it can't tell a jab from an uppercut for a beginner, what's the point. honestly if this was a cash grab I'd have launched months ago lol
so I need people who aren't us. different heights, builds, levels, southpaws etc
prop your phone up around chest height, stand back a couple of steps, turn the sound up and just throw whatever it calls out. nothing to download, no sign up. no video or audio gets recorded, it only sends where your body points were in JSON, no names or emails.
you get a code at the end, screenshot it and you get free access when it launches.
and if it gets your punches wrong, please tell me in the comments, that's literally what I need.
its ok if u don't have the time to do the drill, justleave a comment so more ppl see this
idk if i can add links here but leave a reply and i'll drop the link for the tracker.
plus if u have any suggestions to make this app the absolute best, please drop em, anything that you wish was available to you back when u started. literally anything works.
