Show HN: A simple app to visualize Apple Health workout logs

https://streakout.app/

Hi, after tinkering with Streakout for the last 3 months I wanted to share an updated version and gather some new feedback.The concept is simple: download the app, connect Apple Health with 1 tap, and enjoy beautiful tiles, tables, charts, and timelines.The app is 100% free and there is no signup, no clutter, no data sharing, no social feeds, and no noise. Only data in, charts out.

Show HN: Visualizing Apple Health workout data (stats, trends, insights)

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/streakout-workout-stats/id6758457318

I've just launched this little iOS app as an alternative to Apple Fitness, which is cluttered and chaotic when it comes to visualizing basic workout stats and metrics.The idea is to focus on a clean, minimalistic design and only show high-level metrics that are actually useful, e.g. how often did I work out this week/month/year, cardio vs strength vs mobility, surf session count in February,...

Unfortunately, yes. It's specifically designed for liquid glass and the latest and greatest APIs of Apple Health.

What's the reason that you don't update your phone to iOS 26?

Streakout is a minimal iOS workout tracker designed to extend Apple Health & Fitness. It reads your existing workout data and turns it into beautiful tiles, charts, and timelines – helping you answer one of the most important questions for your health: “How often did I move this week, this month, this year…?”Because what really matters is showing up.There’s no signup, no clutter, no...

It'll take a bit until I have that ready...

Really cool!

I also want to add tracking for profiles. When that's ready I might include a link to your app there. Would be cool if you could open a specific profile directly with a link like https://gitmentor.app/toniengelhardt.

Show HN: GithubTracker – Better GitHub Repository Analytics

https://githubtracker.com/

Hey devs!When Nuxt 3 beta was first released it was quite a journey to upgrade existing Nuxt apps from v2 to v3 – mainly because the ecosystem lagged behind for quite a while. At the time, I didn’t find a good way to track dev progress and releases across multiple GitHub open-source repositories, which is why GitHubTracker came to life on a rainy weekend.The app is 100% free and pulls stats...

Re:Bye Sequence, Hello UUIDv7 on Monday October 02, 2023 @06:19AM (#37736235)
IMO the benefit of UUIDs over integers is that they can be generated client-side without clashing. But you cannot trust timestamps generated by clients and therefore the order. So what is the benefit over UUID4?
No probs...

So true!

Looks good on mail-tester though: https://www.mail-tester.com/test-kb2wgg7fy. Probably should set up this DKIM thingy...

Oh really? That's so annoying! I had the issue in the past, it's related to the the mail server from Gandi I suppose. There are no emails sent from this email besides the email confirm, welcome emails, and manual replies to customer requests. Could you mark it as "not spam", that would be very kind.
Re:PWAs in App Stores on Wednesday April 05, 2023 @06:43AM (#35451994)
The biggest issue to be addressed is monetization IMO. Without monetization there won't be much adoption and without much adoption there won't be much support.

I have a PWA (https://journalisticapp.com) published in the PlayStore as TWA (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.journalist...) via bubblewrap. It has many users and people love it, many don't realize it is not a native app. But I struggle since a long time to find a good way to monetize it.

First of all, there is no good guidance about the topic besides some clips about the Digital Goods API and it only works for recent Chrome. How do deal with users that use a different browser or an older version? Is it ok to check if the API is available and if not use Stripe? No info about that... It can be pulled off, but UX will definitely be bad or worse.

Then, there is the problem with complex backend logic and accounting, I have to deal with two scenarios, did the person use Play Billing or Stripe to purchase? What if he used Play Billing and then wants to manage their subscription in the browser or other way around? It would be amazing if either Play Billing could also handle purchases on the web, or if Stripe could detect TWAs and automatically send 15-30% to Google for doing nothing.

Also, what about testing? How can I test my Digital Goods integration if it is only available within an Android app and not in my PWA? Am I supposed to publish an app that points to my dev server?

If Google was really serious about PWAs and Trusted Web Activities I think they should allow developers to use 3rd party payment systems (in TWAs only) until all of the issues are resolved and have solutions, instead of being like "ya we don't know either, you figure it out, but you can't use Stripe". As TWAs are only a miniscule fraction of TWAs in the PlayStore it won't even make a hint of a dent into Google's revenue, but it would allow developers to seriously pursue a PWA solution over a native one and therefore allow Google to see if it is viable and worth putting serious resources into.

Show HN: Repo Tracker to follow updates in multiple GitHub repositories

https://repo-tracker.com

I built this GitHub Repo Tracker with Nuxt 3 to track when Nuxt 3 and its modules are ready for production.You can track multiple repositories on a single page and see how many commits, issues and PRs each of them had today, in the last 7 days and in the last 30 days.More stats and slick charts coming soon, plus integration of GitLab and BitBucket.Give it a spin: https://repo-tracker.com
