[Feature Request] Workout planner syntax for adding exercises to existing plans about liftosaur HOT 4 CLOSED

Okay, now the workout planner is fully integrated into the app, so I can close it.

Hi! Thanks for trying out Workout Planner :)
It does require full program currently because it needs to know upfront all the different sets x reps x weight variations across weeks, to properly set up an exercise. So it's kinda hard currently to have a way to add days or exercises partially...

Workout Planner was built like a prototype to understand if I can efficiently build programs by typing them in plain text. I do want to eventually merge Workout Planner and the main program editor. Just didn't figure out yet how :)

I think the one-liner syntax for adding exercises to a day is still valuable. One aspect of Liftosaur I love is that I can plan my workouts on a laptop quickly, and track them with mobile phone. Workout Planner syntax takes advantage of having access to a keyboard, and feels really quick.

With a keyboard driven menu it would be even easier. I would really like to be able to press Cmd-K Add exercise, type in Bench Press / 5 @8, 3 @9, 1 @10, 5x5 50% and press enter to have the exercise inserted into the day I'm editing.

Makes sense. I'm mostly leaning towards just integrating whole Workout Planner into the Web Editor. So that the Web Editor would have 2 modes - Simple and Advanced, and Simple is basically what Workout Planner currently is. You can edit your whole program there, and e.g. open it and quickly add a line to a day you care about, like you shown above Bench Press / 5 @8, 3 @9, 1 @10, 5x5 50%. Then save, and it'll save it and reapply the changes to any ongoing workouts, etc.
