I made a weight tracking app because every existing one felt like it was trying to become my life coach. Roast it.

I made a weight tracking app because every existing one felt like it was trying to become my life coach. Roast it.

I recently launched a small Android app called Weilo.

It’s basically a simple weight tracking app, but the whole idea is to avoid the usual bloat I kept seeing in other apps: accounts, BMI calculators everywhere, subscriptions, ads, “fitness journey” content, meal plans, dashboards that feel way too serious, etc.

The app is intentionally simple:

You log your weight, see your progress, and track the difference between entries. That’s pretty much the core of it.

The reason I made it is because years ago, when I was actively going to the gym, I used to manually write down my weight and calculate the difference from my last entry just to stay motivated. I looked for apps that did only that, but most of them felt overbuilt or annoying to use.

So I built the kind of version I personally wanted: lightweight, private, local-first, no account required, and not trying to turn weight tracking into a full fitness ecosystem.

I’m not posting this as a “please download my app” thing. I’m more curious if the positioning itself makes sense.

There are already a ton of weight tracking apps, so I’m wondering:

Would “simple, private, no-bloat weight tracking” actually stand out to people, or is this too small of a problem to care about?

Also roast the idea, store-listing, app positioning, monetization, anything.

What actually helps you stay consistent with weight tracking?

I'm working on a side project and wanted to ask people who track their weight progress what actually helps them stay consistent.

The app I’m building is intentionally simple. It focuses on logging weight, viewing progress through charts and stats, checking past entries through history/calendar views, setting a goal, and optionally setting a target weight. I’m trying to keep it clean and not turn it into a full fitness app with calories, workouts, meal plans, or too many extra features.

I’m mainly curious about a few things:

Do streaks or consistency indicators motivate you to keep logging your weight? For example, seeing something like “5-day streak” or “logged 20 days this month.” Would that help you stay consistent, or would it feel unnecessary or pressuring?

Do you prefer sharing your weight progress on social media or with friends? Does sharing progress motivate you to stay consistent? If yes, what information would you want to share or not share? For example, would you share total weight lost/gained, progress toward a target, a chart without exact weight numbers, consistency stats, or a simple milestone card? What would you want kept private, like exact weight, starting weight, dates, or goal weight?

What features do you usually look for in a weight tracking app?

And what’s something most fitness or weight tracking apps get wrong?

I’m trying to understand what feels genuinely helpful and motivating without making the app feel overwhelming, judgmental, or too personal.

▲ 1 r/SaaS

Hey everyone! I’m pretty new to building SaaS-style projects, and I’ve been learning by making small web apps from scratch.

One project I recently built is called Branch Forms. It’s a form builder inspired by tools like Google Forms, but focused on branching paths. Instead of every respondent going through the same linear set of questions, their answers can lead them to different sections, follow-up questions, or an early ending.

The idea is to make forms feel more like guided conversations instead of one long static questionnaire.

Some features I added:

  • branching logic between sections
  • visual logic view
  • demo mode without needing an account
  • form preview
  • JSON import/export for sharing form templates
  • response dashboard
  • optional Google Sheets sync

I’m still learning a lot, especially around making something feel like a real SaaS product instead of just a demo. I’d really appreciate any feedback on the idea, UX, or anything that feels confusing.

I got tired of those random follow-checker apps that ask you to log in, so I made a small tool that works with your Instagram data export instead.

You just download your data from Instagram, upload the file, and it shows who doesn’t follow you back. No password, no account connection, no logging in.

It also shows mutuals, people who follow you but you don’t follow back, and lets you search/export the list.

Just to be clear: I don’t have access to any files you upload. Everything is processed locally in your own browser, and the files are not uploaded to a server.

I’m mainly curious if this is something Instagram users/creators would actually find useful, or if the export process still feels like too much work.

I got tired of those sketchy apps that ask you to log in just to see basic follower stuff, so I made my own version.

You just download your Instagram data from Instagram, upload the file, and it shows the results right away. No login needed, no password, no connecting your account.

It can show:

  • People you follow who don’t follow you back
  • People who follow you but you don’t follow back
  • Mutuals
  • Your full following and followers lists

I also added search and CSV export in case you want to sort through the list more easily.

Would love some feedback, especially if anything feels confusing or could be easier to use.

Hi everyone, I’ve been working solo on an Android app called Weilo for the past few months, and it’s now close to launch.

Weilo is a simple weight tracking app where users can log their weight, track progress through charts and stats, and view their history over time.

I’m currently looking for at least 12 Android testers who are willing to try the app and share honest feedback, report bugs, and suggest useful features. This is also part of Google Play’s testing requirement before I can publish the app publicly.

If you’re interested in helping, please DM me. I’d really appreciate it.
