πŸŽ₯ YouTube Shorts embedded per exercise β€” proper form, one tap away

For each exercise in Repko's catalog (1,083 total), link a curated public YouTube Short showing proper form. One tap from the exercise picker opens the embedded video.

What I plan to ship:

  • Curated YouTube Shorts mapped to exercises in Repko's library

  • Tap-to-play inside Repko (YouTube embed β€” no leaving the app)

  • Curated by me, not user-submitted (quality control)

  • Public, embed-allowed videos only

  • Rollout: I'll start with the most-trained 200 exercises and expand based on demand β€” covering all 1,083 at launch is unrealistic for a solo founder

What this will not include:

  • Hosted videos (no Repko storage cost, no moderation burden)

  • User-uploaded content (no UGC moderation pipeline)

  • Multiple videos per exercise (one good one beats five mediocre)

  • Coach commentary or paid lessons

  • Auto-play (you have to tap)

Distribution mechanic:

Video links will live in Repko's OTA-distributed exercise database (ex.dat), so I can swap or fix broken links without shipping a new app build.

Why this matters:

Repko has 1,083 exercises. Most users only know 50 of them by name. A 15-second Short showing proper form removes the "what does this lift even look like?" friction β€” especially for unilateral variations and eccentric-first lifts where the execution order isn't obvious from the name alone.
