New to PH – What’s your best tip for becoming a valuable community member?
Hey everyone! 👋
I’m gearing up for my first Product Hunt launch, and I’ll be honest—I’m both excited and a little nervous!
I’m launching Movitalis, a workout tracker & planner designed for longevity. Unlike traditional fitness apps focused on performance, Movitalis helps regular people stay active and healthy by leveraging the latest research on longevity, without overcomplicating training. It’s already live on the App Store, but I’m preparing a major update and want to introduce it properly here on PH.
As I dive into the community, I’d love to hear your thoughts: What’s your best advice for being a valuable member, providing real value, and building genuine connections here?
Looking forward to learning from you all! 🚀
Thanks,
David

Hey David!
Movitalis seems like a great idea - most fitness apps chase performance, but training for longevity is the smarter play. I hit the gym regularly, but I’m all about staying strong long-term, not just chasing PRs and risking injuries...
Science-backed supplement insights for longevity would be a killer future that would make you stand out in the future. Creatine’s a given, but what about things like magnesium, omega-3s, or glycine? Could be a great value boost and easy upsell.
Excited to see where you take this! 🚀

@bartosz_cwintal Hi Bartosz! I'm glad to hear you like the idea behind Movitalis, that's exactly how I see it as well.
Besides short-term performance-focused thinking, a common pitfall is that people usually tend to choose between developing cardiovascular health and strength - they rarely do both. But the real magic happens when you improve both! Movitalis helps you do just that.
Science-backed supplement insights is an interesting idea. So far I decided to keep Movitalis focused on exercise only, for two reasons: exercise has a much greater influence on your longevity than supplements (we're talking one order of magnitude) and I want to keep the app as simple as possible. I think there already exist many apps that try to biohack everything and end up overwhelming you. Not all lifestyle changes are created equally and I am trying to really focus on the ones that move the needle the most. Hope that makes sense! Also, you probably get 80% of you supplementation needs met if you just take a multivitamin daily.
Thanks a lot for your thoughtful comment! If Movitalis sounds interesting to you, make sure to check it out on App Store and stay tuned for the big update!

Also, do you have any suggestions for top creators and hunters I should check out in the Health & Fitness space?
I can't wait for the launch of Movitalis! I really like nFit and HabitKit. As everyone says, you should support the products being launched every day and provide meaningful feedback. Additionally, by actively participating in discussions on forums, you can become valuable members. Staying in touch through LinkedIn afterward will also help in building true relationships.
Welcome to PH, David!
@kay_arkain Thanks a lot, Kay! I will check them out. I see everyone mentioning Linkedin and forums, so I will make sure to do that!
Pieces for Developers
I think a great way to connect with other makers is by meeting in forums, connecting on LinkedIn and doing a virtual coffee chat! (to be fair, I am just a huge advocate for coffee chats in general) 😂
Your product sounds super interesting! Looking forward to your launch!
@elliezub Thanks Ellie! I'm a big fan of coffee chats too, but usually face to face. How do you go about setting up a coffee chat virtually that is fun and easy?
@movitalis_david_manda, focusing on longevity rather than just performance is a refreshing take on fitness apps. Going to take a look at it. I'm preparing to launch my first PH app, Raven, and also keen on engaging community member but finding it a bit overwhelming. I'm just focusing on engaging where I can offer value and continuing discussions I'm genuinely interested in (perhaps slightly ironic given that I'm sharing little of value here). Trying to keep it natural and authentic. Best wishes with Movitalis!
