Forthcoming feature

Sunday, July 16 2006

Okay, so I've been asked this one a couple of times:

"Will Prime be able to include a vocal description of the weight I want for each exercise?"

Short answer: Yes, but not yet. All the code is already written for this, but there's two things holding it up:

  • first, recording all the possible audio combinations. You'd be amazed at the different numbering and naming schemes on commercial exercise equipment - are you going from 30 lbs to 40 lbs, or 10 kilos to 12 kilos, or 3 to 4, or C to D, or light to medium?
  • and second, making the UI for this simple and straightforward. I'm on about my fifth different revision for this so far. The idea is, you'll only have to enter in your details once, then they're remembered. But I want that "once" experience to be easy.

So, it is coming, but my guess would be when the paid (premier, max, ch-ching, whatever you want to call it) plan launches, not before.
