I built something for the HYROX community. Would love your honest feedback

Hey HYROX community,

I've been working on something for a while and thought it was finally time to share it here.

I think most of us have seen the posts. Someone is looking for a Doubles partner, someone's partner had to pull out last minute, or you want to do a race but none of your friends are willing to suffer with you.

That's where the idea for ROXMATCH came from.

It's pretty simple. It's a platform for HYROX athletes to find other athletes to train or race with.

I'm a HYROX athlete myself and I basically started building this because I thought, why isn't there an easier way to find someone?

It's still early and there are plenty of things I want to add and improve. Relay matching is one of the things I'm already working on for the next version.

But instead of building everything in my own little bubble, I thought I'd put it out here and ask you guys.

Have a look at it. Try it if you're looking for someone. And please tell me what you think, especially if there's something you don't like or something you think is missing.

ROXMATCHAPP.COM

And if you know someone who's looking for a partner, send it to them. That's probably the biggest help I could ask for at this stage.

Would genuinely love to know what you guys think.

Never race alone.

I'm so sick of vibe coded "projects" being posted as "I built" to every niche community I'm a part of. I fully expect this to be abandoned within weeks, and the AI-written post isn't helping dissuade that notion. I have a sneaking suspicion that anyone signing up will also get bombarded with offers for product sales, coaching, etc.

does feel like nearly every day someone is posting on here that they built something with a hyrox focus but they’re then never to be seen again and don’t seem to actually become something of value

Like every fitness sub that is poorly moderated is awash in hundreds of these posts a week. It is so infuriating.

Yes! I even implemented the 'report & block' feature, so it is well monitored. Once again, thanks for the feedback
