TITLE:
Show HN: Volume – Simple strength training tracker

BODY:
Hey HN,

I built Volume because existing fitness apps are either too complex or focused on cardio.

Volume is dead simple:
- Log your lifts (exercise, weight, reps)
- See progress over time
- Get notified when to rest

Built with Next.js, TypeScript, and Convex. Happy to answer any questions about the stack or the fitness tracking space.

TITLE:
I built a simple lifting tracker because every app was too complicated

BODY:
After years of using spreadsheets and apps that wanted me to track calories, sleep, water, AND workouts, I built something focused:

Volume tracks just your lifts. That's it.

- Log exercise, weight, reps
- See charts of your progress
- Simple rest timer

It's free, no account required to start.

Would love feedback from the community: https://volume.app

What features would make a lifting tracker actually useful for you?

TITLE:
[Project] Volume - Open source strength training tracker

BODY:
Built this over the last few months as a side project. Stack is Next.js + TypeScript + Convex.

Focused on simplicity - just tracking lifts and showing progress.

Try it: volume.app

Happy to discuss architecture decisions or take feature requests.

TITLE:
🚀 Just launched Volume - Strength training tracker for people who hate complex apps

BODY:
Hey IH!

**The problem:**
Every fitness app wants to track everything - calories, sleep, water, mood. I just want to remember how much I lifted last time.

**The solution:**
Volume does one thing: tracks your lifts. Log the exercise, weight, and reps. See your progress over time.

**The stack:**
- Next.js + TypeScript
- Convex for backend
- Vercel for hosting
- Total monthly cost: ~$0 (free tiers)

**Current status:**
- Launched today
- 0 users (it's launch day!)
- Free forever, considering pro tier later

**The ask:**
Would love early feedback. What would make you actually use a lifting tracker?

TAGLINE:
Track your lifts. See your gains.

DESCRIPTION:
Volume is a strength training tracker built for people who hate complex fitness apps.

No calorie counting. No meal plans. No social features. Just:
✅ Log your exercises, weights, and reps
✅ See progress charts over time
✅ Rest timer between sets

Built by a lifter, for lifters.

FIRST COMMENT:
Hey PH! 👋

I'm [name], and I built Volume because I was frustrated with fitness apps trying to do everything.

I've been lifting for [X] years, and all I wanted was a simple way to track my progress. Volume is what I wish existed when I started.

Would love your feedback - what would make the perfect lifting tracker for you?
