Crowdsourcing of exercise data
in progress

There's probably a big backlog of exercise data, I know I have a whole spreadsheet of exercises pending to be added once I complete descriptions...
I wonder whether something similar to this feedback place could be done for exercises, but instead of comments - require as much info as possible for the exercise down even to creating a video of exercise in specific lighting conditions...

The extended custom exercises that was implemented recently (https://feedback.calistree.com/requests/p/complete-custom-exercises-with-equipment-muscles-skill-tree-neighbours-difficult) is taking care of half of this suggestion and we're now working on adding video uploads so that you can add your own videos to custom exercises and custom flows. We're also gonna add a "fast track" request for cases where all the required information is provided, to add those more quickly to the official library and allow users to participate more actively to building it up.

Louis Deveseleer this sounds awesome! Never saw something like this in other apps.

You are right, that the exercise backlog keeps growing... I've been busy developing new feature since the beginning of the year, but I'm planning on getting back to adding exercises in a few weeks, and spend more time on the library in general.
I think one way that could make things easier for me, would be to complete the custom exercises, basically as you suggested in this post, but directly in the app (see here: https://feedback.calistree.com/requests/p/complete-custom-exercises-with-equipment-muscles-skill-tree-neighbours-difficult).
That way, the data (and video) are entered in a specific way, that directly translates to making them official exercises.

I think that is a great idea. I imagine it would be possible to have another board with only exercise data.
