Awesome work, just curious why Facebook auth with the privacy issues?

Thanks mate! Not exactly sure what you mean by privacy issues.

Just the fact that FB is known for data harvesting and such. Would be the last place I want my fitness data exposed too.

How much React would you recommend someone to know before trying out Next.JS?, Beginner, Experienced React developer..etc

Oh, Facebook Auth is only used to capture the username and email. All of the fitness data is stored on Firebase and Google (who owns Firebase) does not share this data with any Auth providers.

Honestly, I tried Next.js after working with React on 2 projects. It's not really that different from CRA.
