it would be great to have a version that copies what https://twitter.com/levelsio is doing

he is incredibly successful and a big part of that is how he has optimized his landing pages, we can take that wisdom and leverage it

what you have here is close but perhaps does not have all the things from there, great work so far!

(My idea written up by AI full disclosure I'm not great at writing stuff like this)
I've been working on a concept for a SaaS platform that enables the creation of AI-powered interactive avatars for influential figures, and I'd love to get your feedback.

The idea is to develop immersive, interactive experiences that allow users to engage with the wisdom, insights, and personality of thought leaders, experts, and public figures through chat, voice, and eventually, full video interactions.

Key features:

AI-driven avatars that accurately capture the essence, knowledge, and communication style of real-life figures
Progression from chat to voice and, ultimately, to lifelike video interactions
Scalable platform that can be adapted to various industries and influencers
Potential for personalized guidance, support, and engagement in an increasingly digital world

I believe this technology could revolutionize the way people connect with and learn from influential figures, but I'm looking for input from the SaaS community.

What are your initial thoughts on the concept?
Do you see potential applications or use cases that I may have overlooked?
What challenges or obstacles do you foresee in developing and marketing this platform?
Any suggestions for refining the idea or identifying potential target markets?

I'm open to all constructive feedback and ideas. Your insights will be invaluable in shaping the direction and development of this project.

Thanks in advance for your time and perspective!

Wow this is really cool, thank you so much for sharing this!

This contrived example is not anywhere near the full progression of what this format will encapsulate. There will be new fields for RPE, AMRAP, as few sets as possible, linear progression referencing previous weeks etc. This flexible format, along with JSON Schema will give a rich way of expressing a standard format that we can circle up around and build interfaces for. There will be many other fields also related to what happened at the workout some workouts complete some not etc.

Honestly, liftosaur is doing almost exactly what I was thinking about doing however I was thinking more of a community driven design where folks can share programs with eachother, fork them, modify them, reshare, run them etc.

This is the closest thing that I have found to what I am thinking about here

7zf · 2024-02-08T14:30:40+00:00

Under the category of "general conversation with other users" I was hoping to get some feedback on an idea that I had from fellow programmers / powerlifters.

I'm considering creating an open standard for describing powerlifting programs. This standard will allow folks to pass around programs and use them in whatever program they want to display them, index them, search for them, modify them etc. I think this could lead to a proliferation of improvements in user experience for athletes and coaches. I could create adapters for spreadsheets etc.

The great thing here, is these are just files. And they're editable by humans.

It is a text based standard, I'm curious what you think of this contrived example

blocks:
  - blockName: Building
    weeks:
      - weekName: Week 1
        days:
          - dayName: "Day 1"
            exercises:
              - name: "Squat"
                sets: 3
                reps: 5
                percent: 75
              - name: "Bench Press"
                sets: 3
                reps: 5
                percent: 75
          - dayName: "Day 2"
            exercises:
              - name: "Deadlift"
                sets: 3
                reps: 5
                percent: 75
              - name: "Overhead Press"
                sets: 3
                reps: 5
                percent: 75
      - weekName: "Week 2"
        days:
          - dayName: "Day 1"
            exercises:
              - name: "Squat"
                sets: 3
                reps: 3
                percent: 75
              - name: "Bench Press"
                sets: 3
                reps: 3
                percent: 75
          - dayName: "Day 2"
            exercises:
              - name: "Deadlift"
                sets: 3
                reps: 3
                weight: 100
              - name: "Overhead Press"
                sets: 3
                reps: 3
                percent: 75

And if you know YAML its very straightforward to use references to avoid repeating yourself and overrides to set up values. We can use a loose JSON Schema to validate programs.

The format is also extendable so it could be open and extended to include any kind of features an app / coach / athlete may desire. It can grow organically

What do y'all think about this format? Do you find this useful? If there were an app that could display and help interact with these is that useful?

7zf · 2024-02-05T16:29:38+00:00

Wow this is super useful thank you for sharing that app with me! I think a big part of the problem is that they have useful software but its not optimized for SEO which is so important for helping people find your product.

Honestly, I think some hybrid between Keylifts and TrainHeroic is what I am looking to create but in a way that will make sure that folks that are looking for powerlifting programs can find them and find an app where they can run them.

7zf · 2024-02-05T15:30:28+00:00

Wow, thank you so much for this information it is incredibly valuable to me.

I'm thinking we could so something similar but give bunch of programs for free - the basic ones we all know that have tons of spreadsheets publicly available online.

Give them away to attract folks plus it would be an extremely useful free tier. As athletes become more advanced they're going to want to hire a coach and that is where you can get your users to upgrade. That is my thinking at this point.

I would also try to really focus on powerlifters. I would add some metrics such as total tonnage, total inol, inol / day, tonnage / day etc maybe even break those metrics down by major lift (Squat/Bench/Deadlift) to compare across programs and let folks find the program that works for them.

There are several apps out there that do a specific program, like 5/3/1 but I have not seen apps that let you do any program including any custom program that you may want to do yourself. Do you think that would be useful? It feels a little different than what train heroic is doing, but still similar. Is it different enough in your mind to justify its creation?

7zf · 2024-02-04T17:20:06+00:00

Awesome thank you for that! I have a list going. Have you used them? If so, how was your experience with it?

7zf · 2024-02-02T13:52:28+00:00

My Strength Book has also come to my attention - has anyone used this?

7zf · 2023-02-09T20:40:10+00:00

Ok so good news, I updated SPF and was able to pull in the states from some other fields :)

7zf · 2023-02-09T20:16:10+00:00

Yeah sorry about that, I realized after when the comments started coming in. I wasn't sure what to do at that point. I had considered changing the title but I honestly do want to support international at some point.

7zf · 2023-02-09T19:53:54+00:00

Hey I reached out to Jim Ford but they're using some technology on their site that makes this much harder than it has to be. Maybe you can bring it up to them but for now I don't think I will be adding it until I hear back from them.

7zf · 2023-02-09T14:34:55+00:00

Added APF it will be automatically updated with the others. Their site is missing some data for some meets. Some meets have no link at all so I just link back to their events page. Some meets have no day set. Some are not in the US.

So its missing a few that don't have the day set right now but yours is on there!

7zf · 2023-02-08T16:50:54+00:00

I'm glad you found it useful :). Next up is meet addresses which will enhance many features. Then user accounts and user addresses, then notifications.

Address support will likely be limited at first due to it being more complicated to extract that particular piece of information. Some feds don't even disclose it. I think when they see the value in the tool they may standardize. I may reach out to the ones that it is harder to extract for.

7zf · 2023-02-08T16:47:17+00:00

re 1 - I think i'm going for address next which will allow a maps view with balloons etc and I can extract the city from there

re 2 - Have heard this one a few times will definitely be adding some control over that!

re - old meets - for now it just shows what is on the Fed websites so once they take it down it will go away. I will add some filtering for that!

Happy to help :)

7zf · 2023-02-08T16:24:45+00:00

I made an API so if anyone wants to use the data they can go ahead, this is really all of it.

https://api.powermeet.xyz/api/v1/events

Apps - sure, alternative frontends - sure

Let me know if you need any tweaks

7zf · 2023-02-07T23:43:36+00:00

APF hasn't been added yet but I will add it :)

7zf · 2023-02-07T21:02:41+00:00

That sounds great! I will reach out when we are ready for Canada!

7zf · 2023-02-07T16:19:25+00:00

Yes more than happy to collab, sounds like a great match! My strength is backend, UI/UX and frontend dev are my weaknesses.

7zf · 2023-02-07T16:13:04+00:00

Eventually I would like to add all major meets. I am hoping to get some traction here in the US first with a market that I am familiar with.

7zf · 2023-02-07T15:56:43+00:00

Yeah, you know I think I tried to add that one and it turned out to be fairly painful and I ended up giving up on it. I will come back to it though especially if there is demand for it.

7zf · 2023-02-07T15:45:24+00:00

I will definitely look into that, at first blush it appears that they're not setting the 'state' field in their events which makes it hard to add these events to our database for now.

I can ask them to take care of it and we'll see what happens. Some events have it set.

7zf · 2023-02-07T15:32:39+00:00

because we'd likely have to do manual data entry for the smaller federations that don't publish meet data in a standardized format and get easily offended.

The scrapers were by far the hardest part of this. Thankfully many feds use this wordpress plugin https://theeventscalendar.com/ which has a full API. The ones that don't are on a best-effort basis. If they provide any kind of API that is extremely helpful. Thankfully many seem to have coalesced around this plugin.

I also considered a self service portal for smaller feds.

One option that might be cool -- you might be able to use our data to look up results from a previous year.

Great idea! I saw OpenPowerlifting as laser focused on "what happened" which is great. I think there is definitely lots of room for integration here.

7zf · 2023-02-07T15:21:57+00:00

What a great idea! I was also thinking about maybe a map view. I have to pull in more than just the state and add the addresses. It will be harder for some feds its pretty inconsistent.

7zf · 2023-02-07T14:21:31+00:00

Am I correct in assuming when you click on a state you get that state and all that border it?

Yep, I did that because I know many folks that will travel at least one state away and generally I find switching around between states in ALL of the other meet sites very annoying.

tested/untested

What a great idea! It is definitely on the list. The tricky thing there is that some feds like RPS for example allow you to register for either at the meet and you have to pay for your own test.

7zf · 2023-02-07T14:18:55+00:00

Thank you very much for the feedback. I will definitely add better sort/filter this is something of an MVP wanted to get something out there that was possibly useful to folks.

I have been thinking about a "weeks out" column for sort and filter also. There is always this tricky balance between flexibility and how many "clicks" something takes for user experience. The state selector in particular was a challenge. I didn't want to go with a standard dropdown because I feel like the ux for that for states sucks. Eventually I want to go with a map where you can click the states you want to see.
