Post Description
Hi HN,
I realized I track code every day, but ignore my health.
So I built GitBalance, log workouts like commits, and see them as a contribution graph.
You can even do it via CLI:
gitbalance commit -m "30 min workout" gitbalance commit -m "stretch + wrist recovery"
Super early MVP — curious if this resonates.
