Welcome — what is Your Trainer and how to use this Discussions space

[edankert]

Your Trainer is an indoor-cycling app for any Android 10+ tablet. Race your own personal bests on every ride, share one install across the whole family, no subscription.

If you're here, you probably already have the app — or you're investigating whether it fits. This Discussions space is the community hub.

What Your Trainer does

• Connects to any FTMS-compliant smart trainer + heart-rate monitor over Bluetooth
• Power workouts (structured, ERG-controlled, visual editor)
• Route mode (GPX / FIT / TCX import, multi-lap, ghost riders of your past laps + household members' best laps)
• Heart-rate Zone training with a Zone-Lock controller that keeps you in the target zone
• Visual workout builder + AI Workout Coach (uses your own OpenAI / Anthropic / Gemini key)
• Multi-rider household — up to N profiles per install, each with their own history + PBs + colours
• 9 languages with AI translation of imported workouts
• Optional Strava auto-upload, full per-rider data export

How Discussions differ from Issues

• Discussions (you're here): rider questions, ideas, bug-reports-in-progress, show-and-tell, compatibility reports. Conversational.
• Issues: confirmed bugs + planned features that the maintainer is tracking for implementation. Structured.

A useful workflow:

1. Hit something that might be a bug → Discussions → Bug reports.
2. Maintainer (or another rider) confirms it can be reproduced.
3. Maintainer opens an Issue on the same repo, links back to the discussion.
4. When the fix ships, both the Issue and the Discussion are closed with "Fixed in vX.Y.Z."

You can also file Issues directly if you're confident it's a bug — the bug-report issue template walks through the same diagnostic-share flow.

House rules

• Be kind. Disagreement fine, hostility isn't.
• Anonymise screenshots. Strava handles, faces, location data, payment screenshots — crop them out.
• One discussion per question. Don't re-post; bump your existing thread instead.
• Maker is Edwin Dankert and discloses on every reply.

Have fun. Ride well.
