Custom File Format

Open-Source Standardized Fitness File Format:

Goals / Clarifications

• Open-Source Standardized Workout File
• Written Format so it is readable to a layman, sort of like how markdown can be used by any document editor and isn't really proprietary afaik.
• Data-efficient (I'd like it to be, but I have no education in computer science)
  • A lot could probably optimized to not even be included in the format since it might be able to be covered in the file itself.
• Explained
  • First indent = what is actually in the file
    • 2nd Indent = Explanation

Possible Names

• .fits
• .fit

        • a symbol - pinned (stays from then on) - maybe the most recent is what affects all latter entries, not any other pinned note before it - temporary (only that workout) - if they want a note to be added to all the instances that exercise was used, they should be prompted with a window asking when they chose to use a pinned note. an option to pin from then on or to pin to all previously and then on.
