Month 6 of Building Bearly Fit in public!
This month almost broke me.
From a programming perspective, Workout sessions is the most complex areas of the app.
Unfortunately, React native performance struggles with that level of complexity.

People always ask me "Why the Teddy Bear"
When I built Bearly Fit I had a few core problems I wanted to solve.
1. Control of my data
2. Completely offline
3. To log exercise/nutrition/body in one app
4. An app that wouldn't shame me and doesn't take itself seriously

Investors occasionally approach me about @bearly.fit
And each time I've rejected it.
You can build something fast if you just throw money at it.
But building something amazing - takes time.
The tech world has enjoyed easy and cheap investment for many years.

Month 10 of Building in public!
I wanted to take a slightly different approach to these posts.
So I'll start sharing more detailed stats, give better insight into the bigger "building in public" picture and possibly do a write up which goes into even more detail.

What a difference a year makes.
I recently fell off the wagon, but in the last week i've managed to get back on the horse again
Whilst it's horrifying to see where I was a year ago
It's also inspiring to see how far I've come in that same year.

Alright so I f**ed up....
Yesterday's release broke the app for new users...
But look! I've fixed it!
This small patch will fix
- Crash for new users preventing the app from loading
- One UI 7.0 bug causing the status bar to overlap the navigation
Sorry... love you...

Android 1.3 is now rolling out!
This should fix a bunch of UI and performance issues as well as introduce Automatic exercise updates (if you opt in) and the start of home screen widgets.
We should be live on iOS soon and then my priorities are....
