Is pace considered in form? Slowing down the eccentric motion is one of the most important things. This is also easy to coach in real time with audio cues.

No, pace is not considered in our form feedback. The user can go at whatever speed they wish. It'll just count their reps and provide feedback until they completed their entire workout. We do have a prototype ready for stats IF we ever get to calculating the user's velocity. Man, that would be really cool to get into!

Personally, I'd consider pace secondary. To your point, time under tension instead of using your momentum would help a lot. Just an additional implementation layer. It's something that we're capable of doing - but like everything, it just takes time ahaha

With this version, we got the most important step down which is form. So on to the next! Thanks for the question! Let me know if anything else comes into mind!! This was fun :-)
