Tracking your form in real-time is counterproductive. Kinesthetic awareness is essential to compound exercises like squats and deadlifts, and there's no way you are focused enough on the movement if you're doing reps while also watching a selfie. However, a post-set analysis could be really useful and be a great IAP option or reason to pay for a subscription.

Get Founding Sales by Pete Kazanjy (https://www.foundingsales.com/). It's written by a tech founder for founders, and he also runs some popular events and forums for the startup community.

Someone probably wanted a promotion, or to use the latest shiny framework rather than an existing codebase.

This seems like the most obvious, Googley reason why this exists

Pretty much all of these features can be done in Obsidian with plugins like [Dataview](https://blacksmithgu.github.io/obsidian-dataview/) or [Meld Calc](https://github.com/meld-cp/obsidian-calc)

I was looking at pricing. What is a "tracked user"? I'd be more inclined to pay for a certain number of survey responses. Typeform's model of scaling price with # of responses seems in line with 1Flow's value.

This feels like the kind of app created by people who don't have kids.

It’s interesting how some challengers (Snowflake, for example) use the Clouds’ go to market teams to power distribution and sales, so these platforms extend beyond just tech infrastructure.

I was Roam cult early on, but left the flock after frequent slowdowns and losing a bunch of files during one of their outages.

Obsidian is the best. I expect to use it forever, and even if it goes away, all the files are stored in plain text without any proprietary data formats or databases.
