Quick history of streprogen for the interested

Streprogen is something that I've worked with for many years, in several languages as with several interfaces. At one point it was a website built in PHP, at one point it was a website built in Python, and so forth.

I always made it for myself, to automate my own training regimes. It's also used by my real-life circle of friends with the same interest. As I

  1. got better at programming,
  2. learned more math and
  3. got feedback from my own usage and my friends

it's converged to what it is today: a Python package with a (hopefully) simple AI, yet a powerful engine in the background.

The future plan

I have three main objectives that I want to accomplish over the next months:

  1. I've written a mathematical optimization formulation of a multi-day meal planning problem. This will be included, so streprogen will allow both strength and nutritional planning. I'm very excited about this. It's insanely powerful stuff and I've used it with great success myself.
  2. I've added a few example training programs in the README. I hope to increase the number to 5-10 programs.
  3. I should do some promotion, e.g. post it to forums and websites. I really think it could be useful for a lot of people, but putting something up on github rarely leads to attention on its own (you're an exception in this case).

Apart from those three goals, it's the common maintenance: fixing typos, making sure code is clean, adding features if needed, etc.

Anyone is welcome to contribute to any of the above. I'll of course add your name as a contributor.
