I built a free fitness app solo with zero budget — here's what I learned

Hey p/general

A few days ago I launched STRYDE a free workout tracking webapp I built alone, with no budget, no team, no audience.

Here's what I learned so far:

1. Building is the easy part. Distribution is brutal.

STRYDE — Training - Free workout tracker. No account. No install. Just train.

STRYDE is a free fitness webapp that runs directly in your browser — no account, no install, no BS. Track your workouts in real time, follow custom programs (PPL, Arnold, 5x5), monitor your PRs with a rank system, log nutrition & hydration, and visualize your progress over time. Built for people who actually train. Everything saves locally — your data stays yours.
