Show HN: A browser app that controls my bike trainer over Bluetooth

By ruroma 1 min read 0 views 0 comments

I built my own workout app for my smart trainer (a Tacx Neo 2t). Added a system of streaks and points to motivate me train and it has become part of my daily routine. I am curious to know if it could be useful to someone else?I just wanted a quick way to train when I had some spare minutes. I didn’t want to subscribe to a full blown game. You pick how long you want to ride (any custom length or predefined workouts), connect your trainer from the browser via bluetooth, and it sets the resistance for you via ERG to give you a complete workout with wam-up, intervals and cool-down. No downloads, no account and no cookies. Everything stays in your browser and is designed to get your pedaling as soon as possible.It needs a browser that supports Web bluetooth (like Chrome or Edge on a computer) and a bluetooth smart trainers that supports FTMS (should be most). I have only tested it with my Tacx Neo 2t, so I’d love to hear how it works for other people. Thanks!
