Recording gym-visits on Linux.
I go to the gym every couple of days. I lift things up, then put them down, and sometimes I repeat this process another 30 times. When I'm done I write down what I've done, how many times I did the lifty-droppy thing, and so on.
I want to see pretty graphs. I want to have records of different things. I guess I just need some simple text-boxes:
deadlift 3 x 7 @ 210lbs.
etc. Sometimes I use machines so I'd say instead:
converging seated-row 3 x 8 @ 150lbs
Anyway that's it. I want a simple GUI, a bit like a spreadsheet where I can easily add rows of each session. (A session might have 10-15 exercises in it, so not many.) I imagine some kind of SQLite database for the back-end. Or CSV. Either works.
Writing GUI software is hard. I guess I should look at GtK or Qt over the next few days and see if it is going to be easier to do it online via a jQuery + CGI system instead. To be honest I expect doing it "online" is liable to be more popular, but I think a desktop toy-application is just as useful.
