15 Years of Building Jefit

or 15 Years of Buildling Jefit

What if jefit?

This. The guy was sold a dream that only SV could make it. Totally not true. I’m sure the value of SV networking is great but what would that provide him? There’s plenty of opportunities he could have pursued in his home state. Raleigh-Durham has a very healthy investment culture.

I’m always skeptical of people who built something elsewhere then decided Silicon Valley is the only place they can grow. Sounds like someone said that to him and he just ran with it. With all the VC’s turning him down, he could have done that on the east coast just as effectively.

List of partners in his home state that could have been interested:

   Frontier Growth
   SJF Ventures
   Bessemer
   River Cities Capital Fund
   Wildwood

I've been using it for a long time as well, but I'm really tired of the constant up-sell attempts. I really just want a dead simple app to track my work, and I really feel like Jefit is moving further and further away from that.

I've been using the free tier for a few years. I want very little out of it -- really just something to say "do these exercises today".

The basics work well enough. I'd just as soon they didn't lock alternative exercises behind the paywall -- if my gym doesn't have a leg extension machine, what's a good alternative? It doesn't seem a lot to ask.

I'm well aware that I get what I pay for on the free tier. But I worked around it by googling an alternative and just substituting that instead. It's good enough for my extremely meager purposes.

I stopped using the app around 2018 and went back to pencil and paper. Although I did like the diagrams on the movements to do, but once you learn them, you can't forget them. I never entered the data into a spreadsheet though, I didn't care about tracking gains. All I cared about was, what I was doing last week and where I am at this week.
