More accurately I'd say I'm adding a `plan-options` document that will store each the settings from the react form. I will add a UI button to Save the training plan preferences

What do you think of this approach?

First collections that are going to be added are for these form settings

user story is "as a logged in user, I want my training plan options to be saved in a firestore collection"

Day 56 #100DayStartup New logo+leveled up plan generator. Now rerunnr preview will schedule running days with much better rest management. Test it out and let me know what you think! #buildinpublic

Note: I tried to change the Railway port here to the one I was already using, but I only got 502 responses until I changed my app's port to 8080 which is the railway default. I'm not sure why Railway wasn't using the port I specified in the dashboard.

Day 28 #100DayStartup I updated the training plan generator algorithm to have it customize plans based on the days a runner wants to work out on each week. Later this week I'll publish this to vercel so I can get feedback from users. Code is available here:

Day 20 #100DayStartup found some open source running plan generators and tested them. I found a java project and fixed it so that it produced a real usable flexible running plan. This is a test to see what challenges there are. github.com/joshuabenson...

Day 16 #100DayStartup light day but had a chance to discuss Rerunner a bit with a potential collaborator. Drew the Rerunner app initial load view as well to start the MVP building process (I like to sketch out the UI before doing any coding or generating)
