[Enhancement] View per-exercise performance history #42

Maybe there's a way to do this that I haven't figured out, but I'd love a way to see my past performance on a given exercise from the exercise summary page. A graph might be nice, but a list of sets in reverse chronological order would probably be more useful (not to mention easier). That would allow a user to not only see their past weights at a glance, but also how much weight and volume they were using to warm up.

@JonathanGuberman Not sure if your'e still using this, but I've abandoned this project in favor of MuscleBook.net. In some ways it still has catching up to do with iOS (exercise, muscle search & discovery, data entry), but in most ways it's far ahead of what the iOS app could do. Hopefully being an web app means it's also easier for others to contribute.

@cfilipov Wow, thanks for the letting me know! I'd actually started work on my own web app, because the weekly renewing of the provisioning cert became too annoying for me. I'll be sure to check out MuscleBook.net and see if I'll jump over to that, instead. It looks like you're much farther along than I am! 😄

The weekly renewal was a huge pain in the ass. Also, doing this as an iOS app was very slow in terms of development. I'm not a web dev, but I got the web version up and running much faster than I could have imagined. It helps that lots of data scientists use the web and have built many great tools that make this easier. At this point it's already usable enough for my personal day-to-day logging, and I can query and visualize my past workouts in ways I couldn't before, but there's still a long list of to-do items I'm working on.

This is a side project I really don't want to work on. I'd rather lift when I get home than work on this project. Hopefully with more contributors this project can mature to a point where I spend my evenings using the app more than working on it. I would love to have your contributions if you're interested and feel like the project's goals align with your own.
