Original Summary
openGym is an open-source (AGPL) gym & body-weight tracker you run yourself: Docker on your box, or a standalone Android APK with no account at all. I started it in July because every workout app I liked either went subscription or died. Nine weeks later: 900 stars, 30 contributors, ~120 merged PRs, 30 releases, 14 languages, and a Discord with 1,200 people I've never met reporting bugs at 2 am. What I'd tell day-one me: Ship the demo before the README. The in-browser demo with example data converts better than any screenshot. People decide in 30 seconds whether they'd use it. The first PR sets the tone. I merged a translation PR within an hour of it arriving. That person came back with four more, and told two friends. Bugs from other people's phones are the real QA. The sync bug that could overwrite a day of workouts, the Android hang that needed an emulator to prove, the iOS timer that went silent after a lock: none of those showed up on my devices. Be boring about AI. There's an optional coach. It's off by default, uses your own key or a local model, and I say so in the first paragraph everywhere. Zero drama so far. Write changelogs for humans and name people in them. Contributors read them. So do lurkers deciding whether the project is alive. Not done yet: F-Droid, a native iOS build, and the OIDC login sitting in review. If any of those is what's stopping you, tell me.

It's a very different project than the one I'd have built alone.   submitted by   /u/0_KermitTheFrog_0 [link]   [comments]
