Looks like exercise recommendations based on what equipment you have and what muscles you want to work, but not a routine, no.

I never really thought of self hosting something like this. Does it have the ability to recommend routines for you? It would be cool to be able to give it a list of equipment, maybe a schedule, and have it recommend workouts you can do to effectively use your time.

That’s pretty close.

Kind of.
You’ll need some basic understanding of muscle groupings especially for compound movements, and a basic understanding of what to work consecutively or where you’d need a break in between.
Overall seems neat though, I’m going to be spinning up a local copy.

Yeah, exactly why I think suggested routines would be nice. Break things into push/pull days, etc…

There’s only a very limited set of exercises. It’s not rocket science. There are also many professionally built workout routines online accessible for free.

Correct, but being able to programmatically make the recommendation is computer science.

Sure and assuming you want a professional routine, you always end up with the same exercises, depending on the frequency of your training and split.
Maybe my mind is too narrow in this regard to see a benefit in it, sorry

I’d say too narrow, goals vary between people greatly, and the routine you’d use for general fitness will be different than the one you’d focus on as a runner or cyclist, and different than someone focusing on support muscles for back or knee pain, or to lose weight.
Its also good to change the routine over time, to change the angle and movement patterns, etc.
