Congrats on getting this out.
What is your goal with this? With so many activity trackers around, what do you see as the benefit of having an open-source version? I'm assuming the data isn't open, just the interface?
I'm adjacent to the space at https://ayvri.com https://ayvri.com we're not an activity tracker, though some see as as such. So I'm curious about the motivation to do something like this, particularly with so many competitors.
- qwertay 8y agoI'm a big privacy and open source advocate. I spent a while searching for an open source solution that lets me be in control of where the data is hosted and who can access that but I found nothing close to what strava and others offer. Other proprietary services collect all your data use it however they want https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-fitbits-150-billion-hours-heart-data-reveals-secrets-human-health-133124215.html https://finance.yahoo.com/news/exclusive-fitbits-150-billion... This project aims to give you the same features and convenience as the proprietary services but gives you back the control of your own data by letting you self host as well as read and improve the code.
