So I only got about 3-4 solid hours to work on this yesterday. Between the back to the future marathon, a long call from my dad and helping my mom make dinner, the project got seriously derailed.
Coming back today with new vigor. I'm approaching the design and data flow of this project in a weird way, we'll see if it turns out. I'll go into full detail when I know if it'll help or hinder.

10,101 Pushups
Quick update.
Alright, basic skeleton is done. Page changing animations in. Basic accounts are working.
Next up: Building the database, adding in some sample workouts, and running through a workout. After that program in the "boss battles", exiting out of a workout.
First a quick stretch and read a few chapters outside. Be back soon!

10,000% more pushups!
Hello citizens of the internet!
Welcome to Labor day! Because of this cold and overcast holiday I decided to do another coding sprint, but this time with more pushups. I'm a little late starting today seeing as I was struck by a sudden and unavoidable Back to the Future marathon, but now I'm all jazzed! To coding!
If you haven't heard of 100pushups.com you should definitely check it out. Its a very simple and effective way to get fit, with the ultimate goal of doing 100 consecutive push-ups.
Sounds impossible? Only mildly.
The program has a nice progression to it. Last time I did it I got to 83 consecutive push-ups in about 2 months!
Anydangway, the site isn't great. They over monetized it with ads everywhere, and much of the information hidden between links to other affiliates. Even when you do find what the program is all about it, basically turns out to be a spreadsheet. They do have some mobile apps, but even those are poorly designed and costly, focusing on basically every other aspect of this program, but that of ease and progression.
So, in one day, I'm going to build a better site. The plan is to have users be able to track their progress, have the site help them with their workout (timing when to take breaks, etc.) and have a very clean and elegant interface. Due to copyrights I'm changing the program to stray from 100pushups and have a more RPG feel of leveling up.
Okay, enough talking, lots to do!
- Get google accounts working on App engine to automatically log in
- Have custom content display per user on login
- Build an elegant login/logout progress
- Lunch/dinner?
- Start building the basic workout procedure
- Create skeleton of the account page
- Umm more cool junk
- Jquery the shit out of the timer and procedure
- Yeah yeah Yeah!
