Your personal running motivation companion.
Back in 2023, my favorite app while learning how to run was WeavRun, an IOS app that changed the pace of the music playing when you sped up. One issue I had is that when I'd go running I'd often fall below the pace I wanted to go at but didn't get real-time feedback or motivation during the moment. I emailed the company with the feature idea, got a meeting with the Head of Product 4 days later, and came to that meeting with a full working prototype having learned Swift over the weekend. I got design feedback and an offer to be added as a developer to WeavRun so I could use it after they shut it down! I also had a buzzing mode instead of noise for folks with limited hearing.
I started running, and mid-way through a run when going up hill I'd often fall below my pace due to lack of motivation in the moment.
IOS app that tells when you fall below your pace and plays a special motivational message (either that you recorded beforehand or a celebrity).
Ended up starting a light running hobby (~5k twice a week) I've kept up for years
