README - Supabase Hackathon Project Submission
Project Name: Kettlebell Infinity
Project Description (Process):
When the COVID-19 pandemic hit the United States, our team, along with 40 million other American apartment dwellers, found ourselves locked down in cramped quarters. Our routines in disarray, we searched high and low for ways to maintain our health and sanity while stuck inside tiny living spaces fit for sardines.
Lo and behold, we discovered the humble Kettlebell—a small yet mighty strength and conditioning tool with the uncanny ability to hide in a pantry when not in use. The kettlebell promised the world (or at least, a full body workout) to those who could unlock its secrets.
But alas, we couldn't. So began our epic quest to scour YouTube for elusive training videos, seeking guidance from expert kettlebell whisperers hidden away in the far reaches of Eastern Europe. We learned the ancient art of swinging this magnificent orb on a handle.
Fast forward three years, and kettlebells are now the cool kids on the block. Gyms have embraced this Eastern European dumbbell alternative with open arms (and sore muscles). Heck, even the New York Times jumped on the bandwagon and gave kettlebells the star treatment. But here's the catch—while the kettlebell is enjoying its newfound popularity, professional instruction remains rarer than a peaceful comment section on social media.
That's where Kettlebell Infinity comes to the rescue: a powerful and convenient tool to deliver safe, effective kettlebell workouts for all skill levels.

The Supabase Magic We Used:
In our mission to create Kettlebell Infinity, we tapped into the incredible capabilities of Supabase to deliver a top-notch user experience:
- Supabase Auth: We devised a way for users to save their workouts, and in the near future, share them with friends (or rivals, if they fancy a challenge).
- Supabase Database: This digital vault stores a wealth of workout plans, AI-generated kettlebell exercise descriptions, and workout progress records for our platform's ever-expanding community of athletes.
- Supabase Storage: We recorded our team's demonstrations of each kettlebell exercise (literally over 100 exercises, we are still sore) and securely stored them for your edification and enjoyment. The API + GUI was astonishingly easy to use.
- Supabase Edge Functions: We used the OpenAI API in Supabase edge functions to provide our users with a seamless experience, abstracting complexity and sanitizing AI responses without exposing client side access to an expensive API.
- Supabase Typegen: All of our work is written in TS. Supabase typegen allowed our dev team to write clean, idiomatic code with as little overhead as you could possibly imagine. Typegen was accessible, effective and a pleasure to work with.
The OpenAI Magic We Used
In our pursuit of kettlebell greatness, we summoned the mighty power of OpenAI to breathe life into Kettlebell Infinity:
Generating Workout Plans: OpenAI waved its metaphorical wand to conjure up workout plans, ensuring that our users have a variety of options to suit their goals, preferences, and mood.
Crafting Exercise Descriptions: OpenAI put pen to paper (or rather, bytes to database) to create detailed and informative exercise descriptions, making sure users understand the ins and outs of every kettlebell movement.
Structuring Exercise Data: OpenAI meticulously designed the data structure representing all exercises like a master architect. It's like having a massive, well-organized table where each row is a kettlebell exercise, meticulously cataloged for easy reference.
Generating and Refining Code: OpenAI's ChatGPT became our code wizard, helping us write React components and Tailwind CSS with the finesse of a seasoned developer. It's like having a magical coding companion, making Kettlebell Infinity's development process smoother than a well-oiled kettlebell swing.
Behold the OpenAI enchantments that make Kettlebell Infinity the ultimate fitness companion for kettlebell enthusiasts everywhere. With such impressive AI support, we're confident that your workouts will be nothing short of magical.

With some light editing / sanity checking, what you have read has been mostly AI generated. Now, allow me to serenade you with a poem about Supabase, the ultimate backend as a service product.
