by Alan MontgomeryI've been very quiet on here in the last week or so, and that is only due to the fact that I was so busy getting everything ready for the release of my product; https://trackmylift.app!
I DONE IT 🎉✔️
I've soft released on Facebook, Twitter with a huge promotional post on my personal page, and a professionally made promotional video which i'll link in the Facebook page post.
So HAPPY! I've already got 2 users signed up using the product which is absolutely astonishing!
📝 I'm so excited to see what's to come. My plans from here are;
a Product Hunt launch during the week
a Hacker News launch during the week
I have promotional flyers and clothing on their way
Link up with some gyms to promote
I have 5+ Personal Trainers on board who are gonna push this out to their clients.

Hey, congratulations on the release! Having used Strong before, I have a few questions:
- The pricing looks particularly appealing in comparison from a user perspective, but from the business side of things, what made you go for a one-off cost rather than a subscription model?
- How would you compare TrackMyLift to Strong?
- Is Apple Watch support on the roadmap? :)

Hey @Romance thanks for the awesome feedback and questions.
- I went for a one-off model rather than a subscription as I based it purely off a lot of surveys and polls I ran which resulted in users being more interested and intrigued by a one off payment system. I plan on (in the future) maybe switching to monthly subscription to see how that goes in comparison, which will only affect future customers however I want to see how it takes off. My main reason from a business perspective; this started as a personal project for myself for my own gym sessions, I saw flaws in other apps (like Strong) which I took onboard and I know people will feel the same when they use TrackMyLift, that it's simple and straight to the point.
- How would I compare it; Strong was one of my case studies in my R&D phase. I used it for 6-8 weeks (I'm a bodybuilder) and at times it was frustrating, and things that i just didn't need. I've simplified the whole process of logging a workout, editing, viewing, sharing, with simple UI but powerful functionality behind it. If you try it out you'll see, and leave me some feedback :)
- Wearable tech is definitely something I am considering integrating with in the future as I build out the product!

Interesting - I would imagine it being risky asking users how often (or how much) they want to pay. Presumably they'll be concerned with their bank balances rather than with how much money you can make, and won't have a grasp over whether you'll break even (or how much money will make this worth your time). Having said that, you're absolutely right that this is something which you can change in the future, and there's something particularly appealing about early lifetime access.
I know exactly what you mean with respect to Strong having too many features. I'll give TrackMyLift a go for my next workout! I'm looking forward to using it. :)

Brilliant feedback @Romance thanks for that. Yeah risky as hell for sure. But this project has cost me £0. Only free time in the evenings and a Sunday. Doing what I love.
So for me to accept that I have a lifetime access one-off payment plan for now, is totally fine. Every paying customer is profit for me! Obviously ads and marketing now come into play but i have strategies in place to keep those low.
Who knows, maybe i will switch to subscription, maybe it'll work out well as it is. :D The unknown is amazing!
Brilliant! Sign up and let me know what you think!

Amazing job ✳️ having the ability to easily log my training is going one great!
Have you any more plans for the app?

Hey,
Lots of plans. Some of which have also been suggestions to me;
- Exports to CSV
- Body weight entry into user profile with history and changes shown and plotted on a stylish graph to match the UI.
- Pre-defined workouts
- Custom workout masks
Few other ideas in the pipeline as well!
