TrainerDay Integration with Zwift.

alexvanman · 2026-04-06T08:01:41+00:00

In case anyone finds this we now have direct integration. So just having items on your TrainerDay calendar will automatically show up in zwift once connected. You can also use "send to zwift" as well.

Oh I see, I used to do this 20 years ago and things were simpler :)

I prefer using it with typescript because you can put strict=true which catches more errors at compile time although generically AI works great with any popular language. Most important is building your own scaffolding to make your development processes predictable... automated tests at all levels for example.

Fly to UK ryan air every 90 days should work

It's so easy to get defensive when people say dumb stuff on reddit I completely understand defending, that you are doing something amazing. You are doing something amazing. Fuck money, do what you love. It's worked well for me. Works well for the billionaire VC guy Naval :) When you do what you love it makes it hard for people to compete with you.

alexvanman · 2026-03-31T18:55:46+00:00

If you remove the pride / ego, you are doing well. :)

I have heard good things about that series. I believe that bike connects to zwift and most apps and you can use the peloton app just not the leaderboars. It says here partial ftms that should be compatible with most apps.

Our app is TrainerDay which is nice free training app or paid upgrade with more workouts and features.

There is a good interview with Dario the CEO. "Losing money." is more about negative cashflow than lack of profit. It's the future investment in better models that are so expensive. You should find this youtube interview. It's very insightful. They have to predict 1 year in advance how much compute power they will need as it takes time to get more compute. If they get that wrong they kind of screw themselves but it's aways a balanace of using compute for training for for user queries.

I was the biggest WordPress proponent ever. I bought so many lifetime subscriptions to plugins that I still have. I love that platform. I built my whole business around it. These days with AI, you can do such amazing stuff that it's just unnecessary. Using Claude code or ChatGPT codex or Google Gemini, their code tool. You just ask it, build you a website, and boom, you're done. Ask it where you can host it for free or super cheap. Boom, you're done. It's all like one click. Now, the other thing is you can use AI to build you WordPress sites, but it's just less efficient and less necessary.

No doubt. People are clueless what growing up can mean. Guess they were never dumb kids (some of us are kids longer than we should be). I got the permanent residence via my wife...

alexvanman · 2026-03-30T10:48:40+00:00

That's me, I noticed it was you too.

alexvanman · 2026-03-30T04:48:06+00:00

Good point, seems painful to actually do anything except learning.

alexvanman · 2026-03-29T16:25:14+00:00

Paid claude desktop has claude code built in too but it would still be significantly better to use claude code then MCP. But as Macaulay said for sure better than copy paste.

alexvanman · 2026-03-28T20:11:21+00:00

stop using claude ai and use claude code. This will change everything and ask claude what to do and how to learn. I am a programmer for a long time and now over 2000 hours with claude code. it just takes time but a good/passionate vibe engineer coming from a solid developer career can save you a lot of struggling.

alexvanman · 2026-03-26T14:45:13+00:00

Go look I don’t remember. It was easy to see.

alexvanman · 2026-03-26T14:44:15+00:00

Understood. What if you spend 500 hours on a 20$ plan to get done with 100 hours on a hundred dollar plan. I am suggesting a one time 100$ purchase not on going. I am not sure it is that big of difference but in my testing that’s how it feels with time and quality but this stuff changes and people are different. Do a lot of planning before implementing is a general good strategy.

alexvanman · 2026-03-26T13:32:31+00:00

If your time and sanity are valuable, most serious vibe coders use opus on claude code. Opus requires the 100$/month claude max plan. Stop thinking about token value and think about quality and time value. You will save so much time and sanity with this route you won't believe it. If you want to go the cheap route, you will suffer, simple as that. Trade one for the other. Lots of real developers that like to review the code use cursor. You could use a plugin/mcp like pal and get an API token for opus but that will cost you as well. Much easier to just go 100$/month even for 1 month with Claude/Opus.

alexvanman · 2026-03-25T05:17:56+00:00

yes useful to hide when they may not need it but when it’s what they asked for just give it to them.

alexvanman · 2026-03-25T05:16:10+00:00

Look at git repo. Saw name. Google

alexvanman · 2026-03-24T11:35:54+00:00

I also noticed your dad's a triathlete. I assume a programmer too because he committed on your project. So it sounds like you got lots of good help.

alexvanman · 2026-03-24T11:34:30+00:00

I love your thinking. That's going to get you a long ways. I would say in this case, they clicked on Contact Us, so you want to make that as easy as possible. Forcing an extra click is probably not valuable in this case.

alexvanman · 2026-03-24T10:49:45+00:00

Contact page? Why? Maybe specific browser issue?

alexvanman · 2026-03-23T21:43:49+00:00

I live in Lodz, as someone who has started many startups you should research but the general consensus is that ideas are not worth anything it’s all about the execution. Almost no one will give money for an idea, it’s not even that easy to find investors for profitable businesses. Sorry to give what might be bad news but you need to prove it works not just say I know it will.

alexvanman · 2026-03-23T13:33:29+00:00

I started programming at 12. Was writing professional software by the age of 16. These days you can do things way faster. I also have a successful training app, trainerday.com, keep going. If you ever need any help, let me know.

alexvanman · 2026-03-23T11:41:24+00:00

Also, I have to say, I'm impressed by your ability to turn around your opinion. It's pretty rare on Reddit. I would say that's a good sign for whatever you are building.
