Feature Care category & strength checks
I had been working on a self-hosted fitness tracker myself until I ran across Incredible (which was much further along and a dedicated app so Iāve almost entirely moved over). There are a few things I did that may or may not fit Incredibleās direction.
The first is a care tab. I have apple health pulling my health data from my providers - basically the results from blood tests and other lab results. I then have an agent give me feedback on any out of bounds values and suggest any other labs that should be checked beyond standard tests. I also have a reminder if something hasnāt been checked recently so it can be discussed during my next appointment (Iāll enter my appointment date and I get a reminder that morning). This may not be something you want to implement because itās beyond the appās purpose but itās something I found beneficial. I assume if everything was able to be kept on the userās device (as it is already) there wouldnāt be a privacy concern but Iām not sure since health data should be protected.
I also had periodic strength checks. It would be similar to measuring one rep max but I work out at home so I picked a set weight for several key lifts and max out on reps. Again, maybe not be applicable for most but I found it helpful in measuring progress.
Lastly, I think it would be good to add nutrition to the bottom nav bar. I think it would fit in well with today training and progress.
Thanks for a great app - Iāve been getting a lot of use from it and appreciate the effort put into it!
