In a move similar to reddit or twitter, Strava is restricting API usage, and other policy changes.

I think an alternative to strava, which is also federated, would be really cool

EDIT: I know you can record teacks and keep them offline and there is plenty of ways to do so. I think the main aspect of Strava is the possibility of sharing the activities with contacts on strava itself. Like for peertube or pixelfed, the fediverse has the potential to allow any user to share what they like and the other users can see, boost, comment, from their mastodon, pleroma, froendica or wharever accounts. The fact that someone wants to share a track is his own business.

    I see. The Suunto watch/app does all the fancy data stuff for me, so having Strava on top of it is pretty redundant

    It also has some social media bullshit on top, but luckily it stays out of the way and iirc all trainings are private by default.

    Thinking further though, would be great to see pinetime or other Foss project develop further to provide similar features as Suunto, Garmin and other sports tracking focused devices

      Yeah I might look into getting a watch, I just carry my phone currently but it seems all the apps are pretty invasive
