We are working hard to make the desktop an amazing experience. We will have as much alignment as possible between web and desktop.
FYI - Most changes will come to mobile as well, we are focused on the desktop at the moment. The mobile is much more popular, it may stay this way, we will see.
Desktop development is more predictable so it’s easier to add more features with less risk. It also does not have the app store delays and 15% fee for subscribing.
Once the metrics are well validated across a wider group of users we will bring them to the web and have a mobile version. We have done lots of data validation but stuff like FTP history and Threshold HR play a big role.
On classic CTL / TSB chart we treated other sports or data without hr/power streams a bit different. We are working on adding running pace thresholds so that is coming soon. Our activities page now shows all activities from strava and if you re-connect and give permissions all from garmin.
We also have our own scoring called FitScore. Which is a scoring system better aligned to health and fitness focused users. It also better supports periodization not as a loss in fitness. It puts a lot of emphasis on rounded training including strength.
When can we expect the possibility to try it out? The app is available for download from the Play Store, but there is no option to log in or connect it with, for example, Garmin.
Is the strength referring to TD workouts with implied strength benefits or individual strength workouts? If the latter, can the Activity POST API be extended to accept Strength workouts without files but with whatever the useful data would be (avg. HR, duration etc.) ?
We now have strength (i.e. weight training) from garmin and strava on the website activities tab. I built an app that I removed from the app store for now that allows Apple Health and Garmin Health, as well as manual entry… We are going to start allowing manual entry on the website soon. Can you explain more of what you mean you want?
Legitimately I think I am a use case of one with this stuff - I suspect just allowing whatever you allow via manual entry to come via API would probably work for me too. For fun I’ll tell you what I do - I use Zepp/Amazfit for gym session tracking, but it’s not easy to export info so i send a screenshot of my workout screen to an automation I have that uses OCR to extract the main metadata and stores it in a DB alongside the activities i pull from your API, I’m then building a dashboard in graphana but ‘Progress’ is better…so now I’d like to just shove all my data at you and use your dashboard …oh and once my ankle heals I’m going to add running data too…
Oh, cool. We have api.trainerday.com and you can create a personal api key. You can upload TCX… I am not sure if other sports works but you could test if you want I will try to test soon. We are in the middle of changing things so I did not put a link to this page yet in the main app. I am switching from mongo to postgres for activitirities. Once that is done for sure you can post any kind of workout there.
