How to keep fit as an indie hacker

After becoming an indie developer, I found myself sitting motionless for hours on end, and my physical health was steadily declining. I don’t have big blocks of time to work out, so I wondered if there could be a product that restores my energy in just one minute—and is actually fun.

That’s why I built EnergySnap. It uses open-source hand gesture and head-tracking models, letting you play games by throwing punches, hurling bombs, nodding, shaking your head, and more. From my own daily use, my fitness and energy levels have improved dramatically. I hope it can help many more indie developers (and anyone else stuck at a desk) feel better too.
