CurveFit
This web app is a weightlifting SPA that explores the pareto frontier of a lifter's strength across weight and rep count, and gathers data to understand how fatigue works. It is rep-based, with bar speed measurement in development (currently by strapping a phone to the wrist, with plans for an iOS app supporting the Apple Watch).

“https://curvefit.app - a weightlifting SPA that explores the pareto frontier of your strength (weight vs rep count). My specific interest is gathering data to understand how fatigue works. It's rep-based, but I'm working on adding bar speed measurement (right now by strapping my phone to my wrist, but I'll probably make an iOS app and support the Apple Watch)”
Curvefit
A weight-training app that automatically prescribes and advances weights and reps for every movement based on a learned strength curve (Brzycki-like with an added shape parameter), guiding training along the "Pareto frontier" of weight vs reps: lower weight/higher reps, medium weight/medium reps, and higher weight/lower reps. Its prescriptions draw on research into tendon strengthening, hypertrophy (reps near failure), strength (reps near maximal load), and injury-prevention/frequency. It includes per-set fatigue modeling (log-linear strength dropoff), runs on the free Cloudflare tier at only the cost of the domain name, and is intended to stay free while enabling statistical analysis of the collected training data, with the author aiming to build a better-characterized fatigue model.
Problem: Self-designed weight training programs pieced together from bodybuilding forum advice led to several tendon injuries in the first year; the app applies research-based prescription of weight/rep ranges to train effectively while reducing injury risk.
Audience: Weight-training athletes; the app is built to support thousands of athletes on the free Cloudflare tier.

“it's a weight-training app that helps you train along your "pareto frontier" of weight vs reps. The idea is to train at lower weight-higher rep, medium weight medium reps, and higher weight, lower reps for every movement.”
