@__tosh I think the opportunities are plenty. But I'm currently focusing on the thing that I actually need. But hey maybe someone else will take care of it.
Hello folks, this is Sebastian from Gymbot.
When I hit the 90kg (~200lbs) I decided to go to the gym. Being the tech fella that I am I started looking for fitness apps that would help me track my progress (mostly for Android tbh) but found nothing that suited my needs. So I started to develop a clean and simple Facebook Messenger bot. It saves your exercises and delivers stats, that’s it.
I would love to hear your thoughts and questions.
@sippndipp ironically I thought of something similar the other week. Does it come back with suggestions for exercises based around the session or previous exercise?
@__tosh I've built slackbots before and the FBM plattform is definitely an upgrade due to it's generic templates (e.g. the stats). I think that the whole user onboarding could be better (greeting message, getting started button) but these are little details.
@sippndipp@__tosh yes, generic templates are good. I agree that Facebook should focus a bit more on things like greeting message, getting started button. Plus: Bot discovery is still a problem, furthermore, since a bot is tied to a page, it's not clear for most of the users if they are talking to a bot or the page right now, since there's no real difference
@sippndipp@3x14159265@__tosh I think discoverability is mainly a problem if you want to browse listings and explore functionality.
If you approach an interface with the action you want to perform in mind and the syntax is simple enough then I don't discoverability is much of an issue.
