AI Analysis

●●SolidSolve My ProblemShip It

Fixes treadmill interval tracking where Strava and Nike Run Club don't.

Strengths
  • •Pace-based distance instead of sensor reliance eliminates treadmill calibration friction.
  • •Large sweaty-hand UI design shows thoughtful domain understanding of the problem.
  • •One-time $2.90 custom unlock model avoids predatory subscription for minimal feature.
Weaknesses
  • •iOS-only; Android runners remain underserved despite identical UX value.
  • •No visible community, social features, or long-term retention mechanisms beyond Strava sync.

Show HN: Kuta – Treadmill interval training for iOS

https://getkuta.com

I kept losing count of reps during treadmill intervals. Tried paper notes, tried the big running apps – none of them are really built for treadmill use.

Kuta guides you through workouts with large visual cues (designed for sweaty hands on a bouncing treadmill), calculates distance from pace × time instead of the treadmill sensor, and syncs to Strava via Apple Health.

SwiftUI, iOS 17+. 22 free preset workouts. Custom workouts are a one-time $2.90 unlock. No subscription.

This is my first app. Got rejected by Apple twice before approval. Happy to talk about the build or the process.

Trained YOLOX from scratch to avoid Ultralytics (iOS aircraft detect)

This is a practical, no-nonsense play: someone trained YOLOX from scratch, released MIT-licensed weights, and packaged a path toward running it on iOS. The value is procedural — dataset curation, training recipe, and an export/convert-for-iOS pipeline — but it's not a conceptual breakthrough; I'd like to see clear mAP numbers, model size and on-device latency benchmarks before recommending it for production.
