A new beginning

When we started Maxout in 2020 it was mostly a fun project. It was a small idea to replace pen and paper and we had tons of time caused by Covid—19. But we also set ourselves targets and these targets, I believe, were the reason that made me close down Maxout in 2021 again, just a little more than a year after I started.

The targets of achieving certain numbers in one years time made me ignore facts, made make stupid mistakes and in the end made me turn the initial idea into something that I wasn't enjoying myself working on anymore.

And Maxout had to be closed down.

But the love for the initial idea didn't vanish. I kept on using the app and the more I used it, the more ideas I started developing again that could be of use for it. And it made me realize something. Maxout is and always has been an app that mainly solved a problem for me. And these problems still exist.

I am looking for something that assists me with tools and knowledge to organize and maintain a healthy lifestyle while not giving up on the fun in life. I need an app that helps me with staying consistent and make steady progress and, at the same time, reduces the effort to eat and train healthy.

I can achieve this with a mix of many different apps but there is none on the market that combines all of it and at the same time is simple enough to use without unnecessary gimmicks.

So from today, I am going to pick up working on Maxout again.

This time, it is just going to be me. At a much slower pace. And the only target group for the initial version of the app is going to be just me.

Let start the work on Maxout 2.0
