I've been working on https://thesquatrack.com/

It does workout, nutrition, and body measurement tracking and I'm in the midst of deploying the routines and meta-routines - https://thesquatrack.com/soon over the next few weeks.

* Improved the dashboard a bit - http://i.imgur.com/hbs8ZTS.png

I'm not a UI/UX or business person, but I love code, so as long as it's functional, I'm happy.

100% solo founder and 100% bootstrapped ... it's been a heck of a fun journey :-)

I've used i[T] since early beta, shorty. Much better than fitocracy and I think you really hit the nail on the head that your website should help me be more effective (with wil[K]s calc, program templates, and nutrition [2]), instead [o]f just [G]iving me MORE e-points.

Best 5 bucks a month I spend.

I should also say that your site is one of the few startups that I've seen that doesn't completely neglect security. Not sure if it's just part of your framework (symfony?), but I rarely look at startups sites that I can't break in less than a minute.

Thanks for the support it means the world to me (literally, you're keeping me fed!). On a more serious note, I've got a lot of things planned and I hoped the announcement of the automated meta-routines shows I'm not dicking around with making an entirely new platform ... I just need to get some people on marketing it if I want to go faster :-/

This looks great. I tried Fitocracy and was disappointed. It seemed to be focused on a flashy interface rather than useful features.

I signed up for your mailing list. I especially like the ability to see moving averages. Up until now, I have been using spreadsheets for this kind of thing. That works fine for charting, but not much else.

Historical archives! http://i.imgur.com/RsB99dN.png that's one thing that's always kept me off of services, not being able to export my workouts, so I made sure you can do it in CSV, Markdown, and bbCode (individual, date ranges, and all workouts).

If you want to give it a whirl here's an invite code w/o needing to wait - https://thesquatrack.com/register?c=nn5z3za84d

Sweet - I just got an invite back on April 11 - looking forward to digging in. Right now I'm still on Fitocracy but looking for alternatives.

fwiw I made a chrome extension to do auto importing from Fito and LoseIt, you basically just set the date-range and if you want to overwrite on TSR's side and it does the rest (Track -> Integrators or Settings->Integrators)

I've been following your stuff at /r/fitness. Definitely keep working on it, looks real solid!

Will do, I've got a lot planned so long as I can keep it going

This sounds great. Hope to get a beta invite soon.

I really like the design

Thank you! Here are a couple more albums to show the overall design - http://imgur.com/a/3pOwv . Can you tell a developer designed it ;-)

really like your UI fwiw
