Tracking your form in real-time is counterproductive. Kinesthetic awareness is essential to compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, and there's no way you are focused enough on the movement if you're doing reps while also watching a selfie. However, a post-set analysis could be really useful and be a great IAP option or reason to pay for a subscription.


Oh yeah, totally agree! I'm most likely not interpreting your comment correctly, so apologies about that!

People can workout on their own so tracking in real-time vs watching yourself through a mirror isn't much different. We made is so that the app audibly tells you how to correct your form in real-time (make sure to turn up the volume!)

So instead of uploading a video and wait to receive your analysis, you can correct yourself on the spot and make adjustments. Post-analysis is a great option for in-depth analytics but can be confusing to interpret. This was mentioned during our conversation with training academies. Again, great if you want more in-depth knowledge for sure!

Thank you for taking the time to comment!


chicken before the egg. its reasonable to want to use this to ensure proper form before trying to strength train with said form. Every pic on their website shows zero weight or bars being used and there is a focus on getting good form. even if i was pushing weights to near failure, id want to know the second my form start tanking to avoid injury. proprioception alone is not enough to ensure good form until you can develop the awareness to maintain it.


I'm gonna go one further: giving a shit about form is a CIA psyop designed to keep you from getting stupid dummy strong.


Loll yeah do whatever works the best for you! Think it's decent advice to start with general proper form and progress to other training techniques. Stay strong man!


Caring about form is what those soyboy vegans want you to do. Real lifters push through the pain caused by poor form. Let the wolf out.


I love soy. It is a wonderful complete protein that grows abundantly in a variety of climates.


I'm being sarcastic. I'm vegan.


Injuries while working out? That’s simply a skill issue


Get Founding Sales by Pete Kazanjy (https://www.foundingsales.com/). It's written by a tech founder for founders, and he also runs some popular events and forums for the startup community.


This seems like the most obvious, Googley reason why this exists


Pretty much all of these features can be done in Obsidian with plugins like [Dataview](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/) or [Meld Calc](https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-calc)


I was looking at pricing. What is a "tracked user"? I'd be more inclined to pay for a certain number of survey responses. Typeform's model of scaling price with # of responses seems in line with 1Flow's value.


A tracked user is anyone who opens your app. Yeah with people who are familiar with survey tools we've heard similar feedback as what you said. The reason we're currently pricing it based on MTUs is because we actually track what users do (i.e. events and sessions) in the background, and give you the option of targeting any specific user cohort anywhere in their user flow to get the most relevant and contextual feedback in the moment. So our vision is to give you qualitative + quantitative insights in one wholistic view. A second reason is that our product's goal isn't to give you some static reports, but rather we'd want to help you GROW your user base with insights - build features users care about, address the issues they had in your conversion funnel, so you can grow. That said, we are staying flexible and open-minded so some situations we do have custom pricing with our customers based on their needs if that's more special.


How do you count users from the EU who send „do not track“ requests via their browser? It would actually be illegal for you to track them - would they count?


No they wouldn't count. We need to explain this better in our docs so thank you for bringing this up, it's on my to-do list now. Oh, btw we do not use cookies so if your site didn't need cookie notices before, you won't need them after adding 1flow.


Thank you for the reply!

Not to be nitpicking, but it’s not (only) the cookie that requires consent, but the storage and the use of the data itself. So if your customers do not have a cookie consent yet, they might even have _more_ work to do to implement your solution because they still have to ask for permission and store the answer.


We believe in a privacy-first internet. We also believe in continuously listening to users efficiently to solve their problems better. I think there's a right way of doing it and we're on a mission to pave the way for all teams building software.


For sure this is good feedback! We've planned a feature for explicit user consent at the first interaction, so that our customers who don't already have good privacy practices in place will use our one-click solution.


This feels like the kind of app created by people who don't have kids.


At first glance it reminded me of Jira Junior For Kids :)

It's not quite that after further investigation and perhaps might seem actually workable with the right kids and mindset.


It’s interesting how some challengers (Snowflake, for example) use the Clouds’ go to market teams to power distribution and sales, so these platforms extend beyond just tech infrastructure.


I was Roam cult early on, but left the flock after frequent slowdowns and losing a bunch of files during one of their outages.

Obsidian is the best. I expect to use it forever, and even if it goes away, all the files are stored in plain text without any proprietary data formats or databases.


This doesn’t actually address Taleb’s main point about IQ. he argues that IQ does not measure intelligence – in fact, it’s a test of unintelligence.


If that is Taleb's main point then he is beating a long dead horse. This has been the common understanding, at least in Psychology, forever. Intelligence is much more varied than can be measured with a simple test and IQ more just measures your chances of success within a certain context.
