Hacker News: GoodluckH

I’m also a software engineer running a hardware e-commerce business on the side. The hardest lesson for me was unlearning 'logic' in favor of psychology.

I recently ran an experiment where I increased prices by 50%, and sales volume actually went up. It’s wild how much copy and creative assets can alter perceived value, allowing you to justify a higher price point for the exact same physical product

Show HN: Get your fitness age based on your VO2 Max

GoodluckH — Sat, 31 Jan 2026 20:12:13 +0000

I built this because I realized the 'VO2 Max' number in Apple Health doesn't tell you much without context.

I implemented the HUNT Linear algorithm (based on 55k participants) in a Next.js app to map raw VO2 max numbers to a 'Biological Age'.

I also added a /llms.txt endpoint so you can curl the documentation or let ChatGPT read the normative data tables directly without hallucinating.

It's a free web tool, but I also wrapped it in an iOS app for notifications/widgets if you want to track it long-term

yep that's the beauty of developing for the ios ecosystem. apple made it a high trust environment for users to try out different things by making it very safe and sandboxed

KNOWN ISSUES SO FAR - counts more than one every time volume button is clicked (fixed in new build, waiting for review)

- crashes if you hold one of the volume buttons for long

JUST LEARNED THIS... Apparently, Apple prohibits apps from altering hardware functions like volume buttons. So, that likely means this app won't get published on App Store.

But it's been fun to learn Swift and Objective-C from building this simple app.

If I want this to be released, I would need to remove the volume button control and only support swipe gestures.

I can also make this open-source if you are interested in learning how it works.

Lemme know what you think.

it's a testflight app i built for fun but apparently it might not be able to pass the apple review for production release (i just learned this 2 seconds ago)
