You know you are busy when you don’t even blog about your own company!
So I thought I’d take a few minutes out to introduce our new baby. It took months of part-time working, late nights, traveling (why oh why does Benjie have to live about 200 miles away by train), pizzas, takeaways, blagging, sleeping on floors, cats, getting flu… but it’s all been worth it. It’s the first thing Benjie and I have done together completely on our own and we are so happy with it.
So here it is finally: our new iPhone application PushupFu (part of the GymFu stable).
Those of you who’ve met me have probably seen me touting the app, if not PushupFu is kinda like “hundredpushups.com” meets “Wii Fit” meets “MMOGs” (where the G is for Gym). It’s perfect for your New Years Fitness resolutions as not only does it train you but it keeps you motivated by reporting your progress and enabling you to challenge people across the network.
After a highly unexpected release by Apple’s App Store Approval Process at 2am on New Years Day, it’s been doing well – even landing an article at Techcrunch.com. Most importantly, the users seem to be really happy with it.
Of equal importance is that Benjie and I have finally been getting some serious exercise; unfortunately I started on the leaderboard with quite a substantial lead and for some reason that means every man + dog is challenging me! Hopefully I’ll get beaten a few more times and slip down the leagues.
Of course, we’re not resting and in the past couple of days we’ve released big changes to the website… but all this is just a small taster of what we’ve got lined up for you for 2009
Ok, now that you’ve read all that here’s the links:
