There may be a better comparison/way to describe this product, but when I first started using Robinhood in 2017 the key difference between the app the my TD Ameritrade account was the ease of use and low-barrier onboarding. I'm not saying there weren't other ways to execute free trades, but the world we live in today requires exceptionally simple and good-looking UIs to keep people engaged, and I was one of those lazy people.

Maybe when money is involved ease of use leads to gambling, but I'll hope that when it's about tracking your exercise ease of use leads to exercise staying top of mind more often for people.

As for Steddy's chart, everything is based on RPE (rating of perceived exertion), which will probably bring you to tears of laughter, but a fair share of our users have found it useful.

This 1 minute demo I made might clarify whatever else is missing: https://t.co/rf0hBTptCV

But nothing replaces using it for yourself ;D
