Why this project

This is a solution to a very personal problem.

The problem

When I go to the gym, three situations coincide:

1. I use an app that allows you to use pounds or kilograms but not both.
2. My gym uses pounds for machines and kilograms for dumbbells.

Therefor I need a way to constantly convert units from pounds to kilograms. Now, let us explore the alternatives:

• I could do it mentally, but I will not too lazy for that.
• There is an app, but I don't want to see commercials, neither use 25 MB for such a simple app space on my device, nor want to see commercials.
• Just Google it, I could but that means turning on the mobile data. That seems trivial, but I start to get notifications from social apps. The problem is that they induce me train for more time than I should, and make me more prone to injuries due to bad form.
• There is a website for that. Kind of, but they are not fully responsive not PWAs.
• Create a PWA connected to the cloud in order to track your own trainings. I didn't think of that at the time 🤔
