Show HN: Programmable timer web app (for gym workouts or stretching sessions)

https://timer.jotaen.net
13•jotaen•5h ago
Over the last couple of months, I’ve been building a timer web app for myself that I use for workout and stretching sessions. My main use-case is gym routines that consist of repeatable sequences, e.g. where you are holding certain positions for a set time (rinse and repeat). The app counts down the program, beeps, and reads the activities out loud.

Two things (I suppose) are special about it:

- The timers are “programmable”, so you can freely express your own routines and procedures in a declarative notation.

- The app is all static (no backend): the entire program is encoded in the URL and can be bookmarked or shared/transferred via QR-code.

You can check it out at https://timer.jotaen.net, optionally with a demo program pre-loaded: https://timer.jotaen.net/#demo.

Source code is at https://github.com/jotaen/timer. I’ve also written up a small behind-the-scenes on my blog: https://www.jotaen.net/SAKxq

My first reaction to this before clicking the link: why would anyone want a programmable timer?

After clicking the link and seeing the demo: man, I’ve always wanted a programmable timer.

This is awesome, can see myself using this for workouts and focus sessions. Thank you for sharing.

Oh that's pretty cool! I also like how you can bookmark timers to save them and then keep a list of them for various activities/purposes.

Also when I saw the HN post I knew something was familiar and I remembered an old project of yours: x[it]!

From time to time I still think about that one. Are you still engaging with x[it] or have you moved on in a sense?

I’m still using [x]it! every day for tracking todos or various check lists (same for klog, which I use for time tracking). I consider the [x]it! file format mostly complete, so in a way there isn’t much for me to do right now. But I guess that’s also a good thing about such standards – that there is little to no maintenance burden compared to “actual” software.
