Thankyou for this feedback. I'll look into importing rides from Strava, so we'll see what happens with that.

It displays the little map and basic data for the rides when they're finished uploading, although now that you mention it, it's not obvious that you should be waiting for that rather than waiting for the progress bar to reach the end. And rides showing zero distance is something I haven't seen before. I'll look into that.

Privacy controls is a work in progress. At the moment, nothing is visible to anybody unless you give them a link to a ride, and then everything is visible to them, which certainly isn't ideal. Better privacy controls is near the top of my list of things to do.

I completely agree that a better way to upload rides is desirable. Are you thinking about the Strava upload interface?



The Strava upload interface is ok, but I find it slow. I think Garmin has a web plugin you can access from JavaScript, not really sure, I've never looked into it.

I've thought about writing a small app that runs in the background, and every time a garmin is plugged in, it grabs the latest files and uploads them to training peaks, strava, garmin connect etc.


Yes, there's the Garmin Communicator Plugin API, and I'm pretty sure Strava uses this.

Having a small app running in the background that automatically uploads rides is exactly what I want to do someday.
