Why This Exists

Throwing events generate structured, repetitive data — distances, attempt sequences, session RPE, landing zones, competition results. Every practice and every meet produces numbers that should compound into insight over a season. In practice, they don't.

Most throwers track marks in the Notes app, a spreadsheet they abandon after two weeks, or not at all. Coaches collect data on paper heat sheets that never get digitized. Competition day means scribbling six attempts in the margins. By the time anyone asks "how has your shot put progressed since October?", the answer is a guess.

ThrowingTracker was built to solve these specific problems.

The Problems We Solve

Fragmented Training Data: All sessions, marks, RPE, notes, and media are consolidated into one interface. Every throw is searchable and organized chronologically by event type.
No Progress Visibility: Line charts, bar charts, and RPE overlays reveal trends and plateaus that would otherwise remain hidden.
Competition Day Is Manual: Meet Day Mode tracks six attempts, fouls, and live bests with a minimal, distraction-free interface and animated PB celebration alerts.
Landing Zone Patterns Are Invisible: Canvas-based sector diagram plots multi-session scatter to reveal directional tendencies.
Video Review Requires Expensive Software: Slow-motion playback, frame-stepping, and drawing annotations included — all stored locally in IndexedDB.
Data Is Locked In or Lost: Export to JSON or CSV anytime. No accounts, no subscriptions, no cloud lock-in.
Fully Local Architecture: Runs entirely in the browser. PWA-ready and offline-capable.
