Michal BryxíThis is amazing! I was seriously contemplating of starting my own #Strava replacement, but with #FitPub I have my basic needs covered. Thanks community 🙇 🚲 💪

Chris ThoburnWhy anti-strava?

Poor #UX:
- There are many, trivial, features that still exist only on desktop and not on mobile. I constantly have to figure out URL for an app screen and open it in browser to do what I want. Downloading GPX of a route for trivial example. An existence of in-app chat that exists only on mobile for horrifying one.
- Notifications don’t filter. I don’t care about likes. I do about comments. How do I filter?

Downloading gpx is easy but also not something you should be doing manually except in niche scenarios - just sync them to device - much nicer!
@runspired.com Sorry, but that’s nothing up to anyone but user to decide. Strava maps are not bad, but certainly severely limited for what me&people around me are doing. They don’t have the layers nor the different granularity of details for base maps over here. So downloading GPX and porting it to other, more suited software is the base requirement.
Again - sync it. I sync all my routes (thousands of them) straight to my Garmin.
There is only one scenario you shouldn’t use strava for mapping and it’s pretty niche: back country off-trail. Very valid use case but it’s less than .0001% of the population.
@runspired.com Sorry but no. People and especially IT people telling other people how to use or not use a technology is such a bad habit we built in our privileged bubble.
Strava for mapping, for me, is borderline useable. You might have different experience or opinion, but mine is valid.
