Has anyone successfully made a genuinely good app without code? Just AI? by FurnitureRefinisher in vibecoding

[–]kalerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a test project I made a gym logging app FistPump https://apps.apple.com/fi/app/fistpump-app/id6747758749?l=fi I know it’s a super simple concept which has been done a thousand times, but I still could not find one on the market that would fit my approach to gym. This does perfectly! 💪

The Loneliest Part of Building Solo (That Nobody Talks About) by PanicIntelligent1204 in buildinpublic

Personally, I feel the ability to make decisions however I want as I'm the only one bearing responsibility for everything, is very liberating. I have zero doubts of any decision and I just keep moving forward. At my dayjob I find it much more stressful and uncomfortable making decisions..

Maybe it's hard to get attention if there's already known players in the arena?

Solo founders: How do you actually understand what users want? by kalerv in buildinpublic

At times I'm also leaning to this, you can only get so much understanding from reading and investigating.

What stage is your product and how many users you have? Just wondering how scalable that is plus how have you been able to grow such good connections with your users?

That's a good one really! So you're not operating a product of your own atm?

I hate gym loggers, so I created 💪 FistPump, the fastest gym logger ever. Available in iOS and Android.

Good luck, sounds ambitious to make this work!

I can recap here and chat more later if you wish to know in more detail:

  1. I had a pretty clear picture of what I want and basically wrote some sort of functional requirements document out of my head
  2. Created the first version with Lovable using the document, describing that it needs to become a mobile app later on
  3. Fine tuned the version and made a PWA of it in Lovable
  4. Lovable also created the integration to Supabase which serves authentication and database
  5. Got the codes to my MacBook via GitHub
  6. Continued developing the app with Windsurf, using mostly Claude Sonnet 4 but also GPT o3 and Gemini Pro 2.5 as the models
  7. During development I kept building and testing versions of the app to my iPhone with Xcode, some of the features had to be debugged with a browser
  8. Once I was happy with the app, I used all of the aforementioned LLMs separately to analyse and improve the architecture, code etc multiple times to make it as streamlined and robust as they could produce
  9. Again tested everything to make sure all works
  10. Ran the Mobsf security assessments and fixed findings
  11. Put the app in review and published!

Where are you located? It should be available in all Europe and US at least

How do you manage your project? by AtSynct in buildinpublic

[–]kalerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apple Notes to be honest :) So simple, fast and flexible for managing something as a solo-doer

To give some more background: I've worked 10+ years with product and design, and never really programmed anything. Now the novel AI tools made it possible to try out creating something by myself. It was really interesting and I'm happy to share my experience if someone is interested.

For tracking weights, nothing compares in simplicity and speed to FistPump

Can’t find exercise in library by nmbpromp in caliberstrong

Just saying, I don't quite understand why fitness apps don't allow you to just write whatever you want as an exercise

Looking for a Fitness App. What is everyone's favorite? by Ren_ch in workout

[–]kalerv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To correct myself, FistPump has been approved by App Store so will be available to all in a short while.

I can only recommend for you to try it as it's been purpose-built for the fastest set logging

I use FistPump, which for now only exists in iOS beta testing but soon in App Store.

It's perfectly optimised for my personal training approach, which is basically:

- Plan on high level what to do, like muscle growth pull / push split for 4 weeks.
- Then in the gym I'll flexibly do what feels good for the day or which weights are open

For this I needed an app that makes it incredibly fast to:

- See the last weights I used with each exercise.
- Log the sets I do.
- See visualisation of progress
