Show HN: Got my Pebble and built a seven minute workout watchapp today
- endlessvoid94 13y agoProtip: don't make your background image so monstrously large. It's close to 700kb alone :-)
- kawsper 13y agoDoes it work on iPhone? I heard they had issues with Apple, and allowing you to download apps from the internet for your Pebble with iOS.
- andrewmunsell 13y agoYeah, they fixed the problem a while ago and you can install apps and watch faces directly to your Pebble from your iOS device.
- Cub3 13y agoThanks for this, just tried it out and it works great
- mparlane 13y agoOnce I get my White Pebble I might be able to join in with the watch app fun :(
- supercoder 13y agoYeah I'm waiting for the white too...
- HorizonXP 13y agoNice! I'm going to try loading this once I get the BlackBerry 10 Pebble app done.
- beachstartup 13y agowhat city is that in the background?
- zarify 13y agoI really like this. It's a nice simple idea and looks really good. Since they came out with the latest version of the SDK I've been trying to think of some good stuff to play around with for the extended set of features they've given access to. Any plans on adding support for the accelerometer to this? (for stuff like star jump reps or whatever)
- akennberg 13y agoGreat idea! I was thinking about using accelerometer as well. It'd be cool to track reps and try to beat personal record.
- alpb 13y agoIrrelevant: We just downloaded a 700 kb of background image and your links are hard to distinguish from text.
- psyklic 13y agoVery neat! Works great on my Pebble.
- vlaube 13y agoI too wrote a 7 minute workout app, only this time as a shell script. https://github.com/vlaube-de/7min-workout https://github.com/vlaube-de/7min-workout
- mc-lovin 13y agomine is a regexp
- analog 13y ago"essentially combines a long run and a visit to the weight room" I'm sorry but it just doesn't, even if it is based on science.
- Kurtz79 13y agoI agree, it was discussed to death in the story about the original article. This exact phrase actually was in the NYT article rather than the paper itself, that as far as I remember made no such claims. There is no doubt that is more beneficial than actually doing nothing, but let's keep it real. About the app, nice.
- pvnick 13y agoBased on science meaning essentially the same as based on a true story.
- kermitten 13y agoGreat! Very convenient in comparison to a smartphone too.
- gdonelli 13y agoIs anyone building a 7-min workout app for iPhone?
- tluyben2 13y agoI made one for Android and iOS and submitted it to the Appstore; probably they won't accept it though as it's 'too simple'? (Mine is free, no ads, I just wanted it for myself) There is a paid one here from someone which looks quite nice: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7-minute-workout/id650762525?mt=8 https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/7-minute-workout/id650762525... Mine is here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vafive.sevenminworkout https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.vafive.sev... And waiting for an Appstore response as well.
- jwcacces 13y agoThat's right. That's - that's good. That's good. Unless, of course, somebody comes up with six minute workout watchapp. Then you're in trouble, huh?
- bossx 13y agoAwesome work Alex!
- Zr40 13y agoThe three vibrations at the start of the workout might be a bit superfluous; the watchapp already has my attention when starting.
- dantalizing 13y agogot it. love it. Thanks!
- westondeboer 13y agogood job!
