I like my Fitbit, but I'm having a hard time liking the company.
Thing is, they're providing a service, and they're only charging for a product. I don't think this is sustainable and it makes me feel very uneasy about the safety of my data.
The cherry on the cake is that they already put their Data Export feature behind a paywall (though last I checked they allow you to retrieve a small subset of your data once for free). I concede that storing that data costs money, but they do not provide an option for me to use my own servers for that. This leaves me feeling like they're holding my data hostage, and I don't like that.
I'm looking at ways of intercepting that traffic and setting up my own server, and am interested in any similar or related projects.
