It's absurd to me that Strava hasn't thought about dropping algorithm based stats for actual data so people could use it as a legit training app instead of training peaks or the like. Right now it really is nothing more than a social media app.

they sell the data for planning to the gubermant.
and military data to the bad guys, but we don't talk about that.
Not sure how many employees they have on the tech side - i'm thinking I could get away with a team of about 15
for the core, and groups of 3 for each interface....

I don't understand why zwift/Strava/ifit don't create this block of training/tracking
Could make the elliptical and elliptiGO,drop them right into zwift world - better than what I have on the ifit screen.
peloton is ripe for t/o - throw in some rowing/crew, set up a little multi-sport thing row/ride/run...

it is always winter somewhere!

That’s why you always pause Strava while burying a body.

Like, IDGAF what you do & record. But I do wish I could exclude stuff from my feed. This would be so, so very easy for them to implement.

yeah, but the overhead to get the spec to the coders is 20x the actual cost to implement...
