PS Forgot to mention social integration. Strava sucks for their API rug-pulling maneuver, but they get the social aspect right w easy "kudos" for friends and posting to FB/twitter. Peer pressure is a strong motivating factor for workouts, and the more engaged your users are the better you'll do. Cheers.


what exactly are they doing that sucks? I was thinking about giving 'badges' that you can earn for various things like working out 7 days in a row, completing your 100s workout, etc. which people could share on FB/twitter. is strava doing something similar or what are they doing for peer pressure?

edit: as for your feature requests: they are noted, watch out for the next version :) thank you for your feedback!


I guess he was talking about http://engineering.strava.com/strava-api-update/ which was a while ago.


Yes, thanks pranehsp. (Strava retired their API w little notice, and only granted access to its replacement to a handful. Many got left out in the cold. Not very developer-friendly. Made me mad.)
