Activity Track App. A lightweight activity tracking app.
Context
ActivityTrack is a personal project born from a simple need: I wanted an effortless way to keep track of my activities and quickly see, for example, which days I had been climbing throughout the month. The challenge was to design a simple and flexible way to log physical activities while giving users a clear, high-level overview of their habits without the friction or rigidity of traditional tracking apps. During the discovery phase, I found that most existing solutions fell into one of two extremes: 1) They were overly complex, requiring too many inputs, settings, and configuration steps before an activity could be logged. 2) They were too restrictive, supporting only predefined activity types with little room for customization or open-ended tracking.
The primary goal was to enable users to quickly log any type of physical activity and easily visualize their consistency over time.
The project started from a very specific personal need: seeing my climbing sessions on a monthly calendar. As I shared early concepts with friends and potential users, the scope naturally expanded to support a broader range of physical activities. These conversations helped shape a set of user stories that revealed how differently people measure progress and define success. This led to a key product decision: instead of relying on predefined activity types and rigid forms, I designed an open-input system that prioritizes flexibility while minimizing friction. To build the MVP, I connected a frontend created with Figma Make to a Supabase database, using ChatGPT as a development partner to help structure technical decisions, explore implementation approaches, and overcome development roadblocks.
