JustFitness is Becoming Micro Fitness
Hackers,
For context, see the JustFitness is Evolving post introducing my co-founder and our plans.
The Gist
- Upgraded our infrastructure
- Squashed a few bugs.
- Built a Micro Community on Discord
- Added quality of life features.
- 3 stage release plan: Web, Android, then iOS.
Elsie and I have been working diligently over the last few months to deliver to you the unparalleled workout tracker, Micro Fitness. We secured an appropriate domain name (microbytes.io), upgraded our infrastructure, squashed the critical bugs, and added a few features that we're sure you won't be able to live without. We created a community Discord server for you to keep in touch with us, to stay informed of what we're working on, and to connect with other experienced lifters. Not only that, but we’ve already hit 50+ Discord members! Amazing.
The toughest part of the transition was solidifying the business administration side of the equation and updating our key third-party service providers.
With our shoes tied, and headbands secured, we are finally in a position to run and push towards launching the first of a series of applications in the Micro Ecosystem. First up is Micro Fitness. The only cross-platform, real-time workout tracker designed to adjust to your personal system.
As with the previous iteration, we will release the application in 3 stages. Web, Android, then iOS.
Release Plan
The Micro Fitness web application will be available at https://lift.microbytes.io. Its companion Android application will be available at https://download.microbytes.io/. Be sure to bookmark these URLs for future reference.
Next, we'll head towards distribution through third-party marketplaces such as the Google Play Store and Apple's App Store. It is not yet possible to distribute the iOS version from our websites directly.
Once the app is available for Android, the previous iteration hosted on the JustFitness.io domain will be redirected to microbytes.io. To complete the transition on your end, you'll just have to uninstall the JustFitness app, install Micro Fitness, and use the new location of the web app. Easy.
"If you want to make God laugh, tell him your plans." is a saying that we must keep in mind when setting public deadlines, for we only know that there are unknown unknowns along the way. With that said, we intend to deliver the new and improved Android app by the start of January. Just in time for the start of the global workout and bulking season.
Thank you
Thanks for taking the time to read this post. We're sure you have a ton of people and things to show up for, so we appreciate your generosity. The next stage of our journey is just upon us, and we look forward to sharing it with you.
