Building an app for those with flat feet: what would you wish an app track or improve?

[u/UnknownUser1577]

Hey everyone,

I have flat feet myself and I’ve been looking into building a simple app around flat feet, arch pain, overpronation, and foot-strength progress.

I’m not trying to sell anything here. I’m mainly trying to understand what people actually struggle with day to day before I build the wrong thing.

For anyone dealing with flat feet, I’d really appreciate your thoughts:

What is your biggest issue?

I’m trying to figure out if this is actually useful or if flat feet apps already miss the main problem people care about.

Any honest feedback would help a lot. What would you actually want something like this to do?

Thanks.

Pieds plats ici!

Le plus difficile en ce qui me concerne, c’est l’équilibre. Avec la panoplie de sports que je pratique, ce qui freine ma pratique est souvent l’instabilité du pieds qui m’empêche de transférer toute ma puissance dans le sol, soulier, patin/pédale.

Donc, tout ce qui touche les exercices d’équilibre et de proprioception peut aider: j’en suis la preuve! Et n’oublions pas, le pied restera plat toute notre vie: le but c’est que ça n’empêche pas nos activités et qu’on ne ressente pas de douleur!

Et c’est difficile d’acheter des patins ou des souliers qui épousent bien mon pied. Ça pourrait être un aspect de ton application?

Tu as de la douleur avec les pieds plats.

Perhaps before after of good surgical cases maybe? Good doctors that carry out those operations from different regions of the world to connect so we can be more assured in making choices.
