Welcome — where openGym is, and where to put what

[DuarteSantos8]

openGym went public two weeks ago and there are now ~200 of you here, so a short orientation post.

What this is

A gym and body-weight tracker you run yourself. No account on someone else's server, no
subscription, no ads, no telemetry. AGPL, and it stays that way — there is no paid tier and
nothing is held back.

What shipped since the first release

• Automatic progression programs — linear, Greyskull LP, double progression, with stall
  detection and deloads. The rules are pure functions with tests, because they are exactly the
  kind of logic that is easy to get subtly wrong and impossible to verify by clicking.
• Estimated 1RM per exercise, with its own curve.
• Importers from FitNotes, Strong and Hevy, plus body weight from Apple Health.
• Effort per set — RIR or RPE, whichever scale you already think in, optional and off by
  default. Imported RPE comes across with the rest of the history.
• Standalone Android app to sideload; on iOS it installs as a PWA. No store listings planned.
• Smaller things that matter more than they sound: the screen stays awake during a workout, the
  rest timer can hand time back, Settings is grouped by what each setting actually affects.

Full detail in CHANGELOG.md.

Where to put what

You have	Goes to
A question, or self-hosting that won't behave	Q&A
An idea you're not sure about yet	Ideas
Your setup, your plans, something you built on top	Show and tell
A reproducible bug	Issues
A change you've already built	A pull request

Issues stay for bugs and agreed-on work. Questions get better answers in Q&A and, more to the
point, the next person searching for the same problem actually finds them there.

Thanks

Most of the list above started as someone else's issue. Progression programs, timed holds and
the 1RM calculator came from @Space-Hermes; localization, equipment filtering and the whole
CLI/REST/MCP conversation from @Alephas; RPE capture from @fted, built out into a PR by
@octaviodimarco; the MCP server from @Pengboi; and a long run of sharp bug reports from
@shibbrich1, @philderks and @TheCommishDeuce. That is more of this project than I wrote alone
in the same period.

If you're using it: a ⭐ genuinely helps people find it, and a Show-and-tell post about your
setup helps more.
