From Couch to 5K: Building RunningM8, Your Personal Fitness Companion
Hello there, fitness fans and tech geeks! Have you ever tried to use a running app and thought, "Ugh, this is more frustrating than running itself"? Well, that's exactly why we created RunningM8.
In this talk, I'll show you how we built an app that doesn't suck. We used cool technology like React and TypeScript, and we made it work offline, because let's face it: the best running routes don't always have great cell service.
We'll talk about how RunningM8 does all the usual stuff - track your route, time your run, that sort of thing - but we'll also get into the fun parts. Like how we've created maps that won't make you want to throw your phone into the bushes, and graphs that actually help you understand your progress without a degree in statistics.
Let me share some of the issues (keeping your phone awake) and how we resolved them. And for you fellow developers, let's dig a little deeper into how we kept our code clean and everything working properly.
Whether you're someone who thinks running is life, or a programmer who thinks life is about elegant solutions, or just someone who's curious about how apps are built, there's something for you in this talk.
So come hang out with us as we explore how technology can make getting fit a little easier and a lot more fun. Who knows, maybe at the end you'll be inspired to put on those running shoes - or open that code editor!
