self hosted excel like/note taking with columns

Hello

For a long time I have used google drive sheets in order to keep track of gym progress because it has columns and I can dedicate columns, colors, rows, etc for specific gym movements each week so I can keep track of progress, progressive overload correctly, and have a history of progress. ( Example: days | weight | push | bench::weight*sets/reps | etc)

I have been using libreofffice (and syncthing to back up to home server so I can later view on pc) to do this lately but the mobile app is ... Hard to use for me. I also use obsidian to take general notes and lists but it is missing the dedicated columns I would like.

Is there other self hosted similar options for what I'm looking for specifically for mobile to PC backup.

OnlyOffice has good mobile apps.

Ok thanks I'll check it out

Edit: ok the mobile experience is 100x better thanks I think I will use this and setup next cloud or another solution for PC use aswell and that should solve my 'issue' I think

I might need to try this. I'm using LibreOffice Online, and it kinda sucks on mobile.

I think you should explore "No code database" like Teable.

This looks amazing. And the fact that is uses postgres is a huge seller for me. Thanks for sharing this.

You could, in Teable, have a form view. In this view you could add your exercises one by one to add to the table.

Just set it up and tested it out a little and this is what I'm going to use it fits best for me right now thanks for showing this. It looks like I can also import the previous excel sheets I have.

Huge thanks

Edit: meant to say mobile via browser works great too

Since this is selfhosted, why not this one:

A few options - What about Tables in NextCloud? Also I'm sure that there are some self hosted exercise trackers out there. Maybe FitTrackee

qaz@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 1y (2 replies)

It's quite limited. I would recommend Grist instead.

Yes, it is. I've been using the OSS image and it has been working quite well.

Blxter@lemmy.zip · 2 pts · 1y (5 replies)

I've looked into multiple fitness trackers like this one but they focus more on ' activities' like running distance, hiking area etc not how many sets of bench you did at what weight (weight lifting exercises) Maybe I just looked at the wrong ones but FitTrackee looks to not support that.

If you remind me in 15 days Ill add the app to Yunohost wishlist.

Blxter@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 1y (1 reply)

Neat didn't see this one before. I will also try this out the setup looks daunting to be honest though but I'll try

abeorch@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y

I was going to add this to the wishlist for Yunohost.org - It could be a useful addition - I find that Yunohost makes self hosting pretty straightforward.

Can you use their instance to start with?

abeorch@lemmy.ml · 1 pts · 1y

ah yeah. Its worth having a look at a few and maybe starting a discussion about adding those kind of features. I know nothing about weightlifting but it sounds like your requirements would be common ones.

What other Apps have you looked at?

Have you checked if there is any Obsidian plugin that can do the trick?

Blxter@lemmy.zip · 1 pts · 1y

No I'll look into it didn't know there were plugins
