   One React Native codebase, both platforms

   WhyA solo builder maintaining two native codebases ships half as often, and the core loop is identical on iOS and Android.

   ResultEvery feature lands on both platforms at once, from one pull request.

2. 02

   Progress photos and streaks before analytics

   WhyThe thing that keeps people logging is seeing change, not reading a chart. Motivation is the retention feature.

   ResultThe first session ends with something visible on screen, not an empty dashboard.

   Supabase for auth, data and storage

   WhyRow-level security and file storage out of the box meant no backend to run while the product was still finding its shape.

   ResultPer-user data isolation enforced in the database, not in app code.

• Shipped to a public TestFlight beta with real users training on it
• Core loop complete: workout logging, progress photos, consistency streaks with reminders, and trend analytics
• One codebase serving both platforms, maintained solo
