Fitmate chronicles 1

Good morning,

Today I woke up at 5.30 am. This is my first attempt to join the 5.30 am club. I don’t even know if this approach will work for me in the long run, but I have to try.

The last 2 weeks were crazy; my son got sick and I had to take a few days off work to help my wife care for him.

Unfortunately, it led to me not working on my side-project and my main goal for this year and those blog posts - Fitmate App.

What is Fitmate App?

Fitmate is an idea ( for now) for an app I had some time ago actually. I’m working on making it a reality.

Fitmate is a mobile app for people who want to find someone to work out with. That’s the basic idea.

Want to go play Squash, but you have no friend who’d be interested in that? Fitmate got you covered.

Want to go jogging regularly and have someone to keep you accountable? Fitmate got you covered.

You travel a lot and want to keep in shape, but you rather stay at the hotel by yourself than go to exercise by yourself? Fitmate got you covered.

Those are the few assumptions I have while working on this app.

Why?

This idea isn’t a new one for me, I’ve actually thought about it for some time already, I even started building some no-code solution using Adalo some time ago, but I stopped.

I didn’t have enough will and motivation to work on anything challenging besides my day ever since my son was born.

I say to myself I was too tired to focus. I don’t know if I was, but I really almost don’t remember anything that happened between 2019 & 2021.

So that’s the introduction to the Fitmate blog. I don’t yet know where I’ll put it, but I’ll try to keep it updated every day while I build this.
The goal is to have a working version of it released by the end of 2022. We’re on the 6th of October right now, so not a lot of time left.

Wish me persistence.
