TradeNote VS weightxreps-server

I created and open sourced my own. It let’s me control the privacy of my data and have the minimum required info for journaling which is basic statistics, taking screenshots and keeping a diary. If you’re interested you can check it out here : https://github.com/Eleven-Trading/TradeNote

Indicator : average profit per trade. In terms of journaling I take screenshots of my trades and annotate the screenshot. Found it much better then just adding a note to a (line) trade. I open sourced my journal here : https://github.com/Eleven-Trading/TradeNote

If you’re looking for an open source alternative, I’ve open sources mine here https://github.com/Eleven-Trading/TradeNote

I used various custom overkill spread sheets for platemath, recently migrated one custom google sheetapp. When you can't PR, spreadsheet.

log weightxreps@rir in comma seperated long text field, calculates repRMs, and other stats like volume/inol. Visualizations in appsheets very weak though.

Most important feature for me, having gone off program/fuckarounditis is having UI that clearly indicates how long ago I've done an exercise, this way I can train intuitively using my own meso/microcycles, i.e. right now my microcycle is is every 10-12 days instead of 7, which helped me blow past some stalls. I try to visualize in: how many days ago I last did an exercise [how many rest days in between]. I can glance at exercise charts (can be fuzzy to match all exercise of certain tag, i.e. #bp shows data for all bench variations), and get a sense of periodization/progress. Trying to figure out a fatigue/recovery system. Anyway apart from occasionally slow syncing, the appsheet has made logging very convenient.

Before this, I've used for years where you log using syntax in giant textarea:

Their website is a little busy and they had some redesigns that I didn't like, but it's easily one of the best logging experiences out there since you're not wasting time filling individual setsxreps etc. They have an app now, which I haven't tried, but the web experience was very good for me. I logged in a note, and copy and paste into log file when done. Visualizations pretty good.

My ideal logging, if I knew how to code (only decent in excel formula), would be basically something like a population pyramid style chart where y axis is training days, x axis is inol/weight x or whatever stat. You tap on the horizontal/bar training day to view relevant details but otherwise have high level overview of essential stats.

Last couple photos in album shows old spread / visiualization sheet format, the 2nd last photo last like rows that represent past training days (empty = rest days) with inol for each exercise tag. I've blacked out some of my repmaxes in case it identifies me online powerlifting competition DBs.
