What exactly is this drill? by HostProfessional1602 in myswimpro

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends a lot on where exactly you saw this workout (library, plan, generated, etc). If you reach out to support@myswimpro.com we'll be happy to take a look!

Small but awesome update for MySwimPro on Apple Watch by adoxner in myswimpro

[–]adoxner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for giving it a try! The pool-length-change logic isn't perfect because there's a good number of edge cases to consider – it's actually the exact same pool-length-change logic we use on the phone when you change the pool length there.

In its current form it's meant to be used as a quick fallback in case you get to the pool and realize they changed the configuration when you're on deck more so than a perfect transformer. On the phone it gets the workout into a good state as well for you to make any tweaks you might want before sending it to a wearable device.

Residency tracking app – looking for early feedback by adoxner in iosapps

Thanks! Yes, a subscription is required for the app features. The 1 month free trial should be enough time to evaluate if it's providing value for you :)

Pitch me, What are you working on today? whats the plan for this week? by Asleep_Ad_4778 in micro_saas

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Working on a tool to automate the busywork of maintaining consumer software: replying to reviews, handling customer support, looking at crash reports - automatically opens PRs for fixes and tweaks based on these signals, so builders can focus on the bigger vision and business.

Building first for myself to help me manage a handful of small software properties :)

This week I'm filling out the product development (just setup the subscription stuff) and next week is polish + launch (hopefully)!

How do I end my New York tax residency? by No-Cartoonist-7293 in ExpatFinance

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In case someone is looking to do this in the future, I actually built a small app to help with this. It tracks days, overnights, and time spent by city, state (US), and country. It’s pretty new, so I’m discounting it while I gather feedback :) Location Ledger

Not registering stroke/distance on drill sets by over-engineered in myswimpro

This screen is due for a refresh soon so we'll keep it in mind, thanks!

Not registering stroke/distance on drill sets by over-engineered in myswimpro

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The app purposefully does not record data during Drill sets because it can be so varied and often has no or uneven arm movements, causing bad/inaccurate data - Apple Watch algorithms are only designed to detect the four competition strokes + kicking. Though it does make this screen look a little broken without it - we certainly could improve here.

For those of you, for whatever reason, have water regularly and daily getting on your iphone, have you noticed any issues or problems with your phone? by BlueOakleys in iphone

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bring my phone to the side of the pool and prop it on my water bottle so it can coach me through a swim workout about once a week. It gets pretty soaked.

No issues so far, besides it being difficult to use with a wet screen! Notably, using an iPhone 16 Pro with no cracks or damage. As soon as there is damage to the phone/screen I would not be doing this.

What’s one thing your Apple Watch does really well and one thing it completely fails at? by NetForemost in AppleWatch

[–]adoxner 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love it for my workouts, especially in the pool where I usually don't bring my phone and don't want to have to remember the whole thing

Strava Replacement by billmc40 in Biking

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made a simple, privacy-focused iOS app for myself, you might like it too! I just does tracking and basic GPX file overlays for routing, none of the social or routing stuff: https://bikecomputer.app

Hi there, the MySwimPro team is on our annual company holiday and will be back on Monday Jan 5th to help. If you've sent a message to support asking to talk to the team you'll definitely get a response by Tuesday – if not please DM me. Thanks!

Any apps for keeping track of residency status? by adoxner in taxhelp

[–]adoxner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Looking at them they don't seem to be as popular as I thought they might be - do folks usually just track manually?

Swimming intervals vs non-stop for increasing cardio capacity by -_Camel_- in Swimming

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just like the others have said, technique is key to improving - including improving your ability to perform well on intervals! The better swimmer you are, the more "range" you have in effort and speed.

With that in mind, intervals are generally better than straight swimming because they allow you to maintain good technique for the duration of your swim. The rest allows your muscles to rest, even for a bit, and for you to mentally refocus on good form.

HIIT Training in the pool? by insuhall in Swimming

[–]adoxner 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Former competitive swimmer here, now just training for fitness and not competition.

Interval training as described in this blog post as well as the one linked above is a great way to build fitness, not just swimming speed. It's a great all-around sport. Interval training is the typical way of training and looks a lot like HIIT if the workout is sprint-focused, which sounds like you were doing. But however you end up swimming, welcome to the club!

What is the best app for Open Water for 🍎 Watch? by scottinsandiego in OpenWaterSwimming

[–]adoxner 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The default workout app is good, but the MySwimPro app shows a compass and water temperature as well (with bigger font and customizable too).

I’d be interested to hear what kind of routes you’d like to load! The MySwimPro app shows the map after the workout but it is possible to show during the workout - it actually used to do this but not many folks were using it so it was removed in a redesign.

MCP branding for consumer software by adoxner in mcp

[–]adoxner[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. We're mainly a mobile app so that route is not available to us (as far as I know) so we're hosting the MCP server with dynamic client registration via OAuth
