Interesting to see everyone hating on strava for not changing much for a long time. It has thousands of apps and browser extensions built on top of it to give you power features you want or need for training purposes. Strava is not probably not going to "steal relive's feature", although they have had something similar for years https://labs.strava.com/flyby/ https://labs.strava.com/flyby/. If you want something actually cool for unique routes use http://www.loopieroute.com/ http://www.loopieroute.com/. AFAIK, Strava cut Relive off because they were unclear about showing data within privacy zones and because relive is trying to build a competing social network.
1 Year ago:
* Signed up to relive with my strava account
* Started getting a lot of spam from relive that they made a video for my commute twice a day.
* Couldn't find any settings to stop making videos after every single ride, filtered out their emails, marked as read.
2 days ago:
* Received 3 Emails from Relive that "[friend from strava] wants to be my relive friend".
* Remembered that I never could figure out how to turn off relive syncing, signed in, found a way to delete my account
1 day ago:
* Get email from strava saying relive has been banned
Today:
* HN users decide to make a better alternative in their free time because strava sux
Keep in mind that if you as a user want to keep using relive you still easily can, just upload your gpx files. If you want it to automatically make videos you can setup a zapier/iftt/many many more ways to pull your data after every activity and pipe it to another service. Strava is not user hostile, it is friendly to 3rd parties, offers an amazing api, allows you to pay them money instead of being the product. What more does HN want?
