Show IH: I built a deliberately boring physio tracker to replace paper during rehab

I kept losing track of physio efforts between appointments because my system was messy (paper, notes, emails), so I built a simple, local-only tracker for myself: add exercises, mark them done, export my data for summaries of progress. Sharing if others think it useful to scale.

    Deliberately boring is a product philosophy I respect — rehab needs consistency, not engagement tricks. The insight that friction kills adherence (paper = abandoned after week 1) is exactly right.

    One thing worth exploring: the prompts/instructions you give users at each stage of their rehab protocol directly affect how they input data. Structured intake forms beat open-ended “how do you feel?” every time.

    I built flompt for the AI side of this pattern — a visual prompt builder that decomposes instructions into 12 semantic blocks (role, objective, constraints, output format, etc.) and compiles to Claude-optimized XML. The discipline of structured thinking applies as much to physio protocols as to AI prompts.
