got the app pretty much done!! my first change was adding an additional reps feature where people could add in drop sets, myoreps, rest-pause reps, etc. this goes into more detail than most simple weight/reps loggers. I left that section intentionally more open-ended because there’s such a wide range of intensifiers people use.
.
I ran into a lotttt of problems trying to optionally allow certain features to be disabled. it should’ve been a simple feature - a checkbox that if true hid certain form fields. but my checkboxes kept resetting their state when the page refreshed :(
using a combination session state and keys, i got the feature to work at last. it didn’t help that I got stuck due to some rookie coding mistakes: I initially put all the form inputs in an if loop, but I had to change it when I realized the variables were only defined inside that loop.

even deploying the streamlit app was an interesting new experience for me. I learned about Git and Github, and how to organise the files in a repo. this helped me learn how projects go from code files to real applications with a domain and frontend.
