You might be missing the point of AI coding. If you're not an enterprise, it’ll be hard to compete with those who are.

The new wave of coding tools aren't all about building the next OpenAI, Google, etc. It’s also about building systems that serve you, tailored to you without unnecessary investment in time.

Context: Training for Combat, Not for Ads

One critical piece of my MMA / Muay Thai training is staying consistent with drills. But most fitness apps out there are either bloated, try to monetize your data, or just don't align with my real combat training flow.

So I built a focused Drills Trainer app — visual cues, audio playback, timed transitions. Clean and self-contained.

No subscriptions. No selling health data. Just a tool that runs and helps me train.

What it currently does:

• Visual guidance for striking drills
• Timed audio cues for rhythm
• Clean front-end logic, all in-browser

Try It Live

You can use the app directly at https://arberrexhepi.github.io/drills/.

I've included a few drills for starters.

Here’s where it could go next:

With a bit of backend logic, a simple database, and a self-hosted LLM endpoint — this could scale into a personal, privacy-first fitness engine:

• Store and rotate custom drills
• Auto-generate routines based on goals or time constraints
• Suggest progression tweaks using lightweight AI
• And even calculate health metrics (although the only metric that counts in training can only come from gauging how you feel mentally, emotionally, and physically)

Using AI as a utility… to build utilities — that's the mindset shift.

Why it matters

Tools for self-improvement will only get easier to build — but that ease comes at a cost if you’re always reaching for external platforms. You’ll either be the product... or you’ll own the product.

This isn’t a finished app. It’s a direction — one aligned with real needs, and minimal overhead.

Good enough to use. Worth revisiting later.
