Could you build this?
No Fort is a physical hardware wearable designed to track strength and muscle metrics, which cannot be created via software vibe-coding.
What it would actually take: Building Fort requires custom hardware engineering, including PCB design, microcontroller selection, sensor fusion (high-frequency IMUs and load sensors), and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) firmware. The data pipeline must process raw inertial signals into velocity and power curves using biomechanical algorithms, accompanied by custom battery management and enclosure manufacturing. This requires electrical engineers, firmware developers, and industrial manufacturing supply chains.
