The MzFit February, 2025 update is out.

Exercising with ADHD: How I've Done Yoga Every Day for Two Years
I’m a 46 year old software programmer with ADHD. During covid containment my girlfriend and I started doing YouTube yoga videos. That went so well I decided to build this app you’re reading about: no ads, fast easy search, Apple Watch Integration.
My whole life, my experience with ADHD has been that for 3-6 months I get hyper-focused on things that interest me and then once the novelty wears off, I never touch it again (hello my obsession with baking fresh bread circa 2010).

Building A Simple Filesystem Backed Cache With Golang
I’m an older developer who enjoys building simple, easy to maintain software. I tend to agree with the maxim “make it as simple as possible but no simpler.” I’ve also been around long enough that I’ve been bitten by issues with other people’s software. I tend to enjoy programming in the Go programming language because it generally behaves the way I expect about 95% of the time, which means I tend not to be bitten by it.

How To Host Cloudflare Behind Nginx
I ran into a situation that seems counterintuitive. Nginx is a web server for hosting web content. Cloudflare is a content delivery network. You normally put your content delivery network in front of your web web server to speed things up. I recently needed to put Nginx in front of Cloudflare and I figured it might be worthwhile documenting in case someone else runs into the same situation.

GitHub With Cloudflare R2 Storage
GitHub is an absolutely fantastic service. Really. Microsoft deserves real kudos for taking it over and keeping it running as a world class service to the community. It drives open source development and the free tier for startups is generous enough that it’s pretty easy to run free until you start making a profit and start needing the enterprisey features. I’m such a fan I recently wrote a post about how I performance tuned my GitHub CICD pipeline.

How I Tuned My CI/CD Pipeline To Be Done in 60 Seconds
A CI/CD Pipeline is one of the key tools software engineers have to produce high quality software. It stands for Continuous Integration (CI) and Continuous Delivery (CD). The idea being that instead of making a bunch of changes to your software and then pulling it all together to test it at the end, you should continuously integrate (test) and release (deploy) your software to find bugs faster.
Like many people, I store my software source code on GitHub.

Best Free Yoga Apps 2024
Here at MzFit we like to think we have the best yoga app. After all, we have the largest library of yoga routines in the world (YouTube), and we make those workouts better through features like Apple Watch integration, built in class schedules, better filter and search than YouTube, and best of all it’s both ad-free and free-free!
All that being said, the world is a wide and wonderful place and even though we’ve been using MzFit to do over 500 days of yoga in a row, that doesn’t mean there aren’t other options out there.
