Yes that might be the cause. Maybe I need to increase the upper limit on iterations? I haven't tested it a lot with the bigger numbers since I've entirely coded this from my smartphone and it's quite slow at processing those numbers.

I think the problem might be too low a lower limit on iterations. Perhaps it should default to 5000 or something larger, maybe with a progress indicator.

Thanks! Will look into it.

Yep I do, at https://marcolabarile.me/

Quite simple stack: Jekyll on Github Pages.

Maybe cline? It's a vscode extension actually, but it lets you choose the LLM.

Happy new year!

I'm also using VSCode at the moment. Any extensions you'd recommend?

You're right: it's quite vague. It was intended as "best" for the reader. I'm picking up C again for general SW development after some years of stop, so I'm also wondering what people out there consider the best for their use cases.

As a self-guided alternative, you could try going through https://adventofcode.com/ problems with your language of choice.

Usually I build something I need and doesn't exist or can be improved wrt existing solutions. I don't necessarily do it for money since it's a side project we're talking about. Focusing on solving the core issue instead of finding a viable monetization strategy has some pros:

- makes it more fun for me - feels lees like another job - users won't be exploited

If you only need beer money to keep the project running, there are good chances you can keep it running for free too. There are lots of cool free services out there for starting out (eg. Vercel).

For example, I've just built and deployed https://calcolomassimale.it/ on Vercel for free: a 1-Rep Max calculator for strength exercises. There are several tools like this out there but:

- most are in english - italian tools are clunky/have too much useless text for SEO purposes/use old and ugly interfaces

The idea in this case comes from a simple personal need.

Thanks! Stronglifts looks like a gold mine of information to me. Just what I was looking for. Currently I'm training with a bodybuilder approach and I'm starting to doubt it because it's hard to increase weights when you only have mid-to-high-reps sets. Personally a lot of motivation comes from the increase in the weight I lift so maybe a powerlifting approach would suit me better. Since I'm a novice (started training about 2 years ago), I'm a bit scared of doing PRs though. But maybe it could be an efficient way to force me to improve form?

If you do Stronglifts for two months that will get you a foundation in powerlifting and adding weight.

Then you calculate your theoretical max for each lift on this site: https://strengthlevel.com/one-rep-max-calculator

Then plug those into 5/3/1. I can't say enough good things about 5/3/1 - it gives you an elegant and consistent approach to PRs.
