Rationale

Why develop an activity tracking website when there are so many other options available?

• I needed a companion website to the mobile app of the same name that I developed. I needed this to make the live tracking feature possible.
• Other workout trackers do not support strength-based exercises, such as pull-ups and push-ups (press-ups).
• I think users should have control over their own data and this is only possible with an open source application.
• There are some analytical ideas that I have which none of the major activity tracking websites perform.
• I want to do some experiments with automatically generating workout plans. This will serve as the platform for this idea.
• Education. For the experience in performing full-stack software development: dealing with website deployment and scalability, and security issues.
