We've been running the web site for a few years now (just past 1000 daily games!) and we just launched iOS and Android apps in the last couple months! Its been quite a learning experience for sure!

#442Because I was frustrated of the pricing and feature list of TrainingPeaks, I've built my own training planning and analytics platform for endurance athletes (and coaches too!). It is called Tredict ( https://www.tredict.com .) and it covers almost everything for runners, cyclists and swimmers over training effort forecasting and prediction, a comprehensive training log, training plans, workout planning, Vo2Max calcul…

These look nice. If I request a custom city, how long would it take?

#445I've been helping with a small portfolio of Slack apps under the brand https://happybara.io , including Nightowl (multi-DM broadcast for Slack, like BCC for email), and Channitor (channel management & auto-archiving). It's been a really interesting journey making mistakes & learning from them. One mistake that made me feel foolish: I assumed no one would ever pay for one of the apps. A paywall was added "just in case…

#447This is a fun space to work in but there's lot of small competitors and opensource alternatives. In the first few years it was sometimes demotivating, but at some point I began seeing competitors bow out and Packetriot kept getting better and better each year.
This year I published a lot of updates across the platform. Our UX is better with a new web-based UI for our client and all of the features of the platform can be managed in the client UI. No more going back forth between the client and user portal.
I'm planning on releasing a community edition of our server in 2026 so that anyone can use our network server for free, for personal use or to evaluate for commercial use.

Nice! The site looks very clean, good job! I recently bought a Garmin and I was looking into analytics-heavy training platform since I'm doing a lot of different sports so I can't just go for a 10k training plan or something. I ended up going with intervals.icu, how is tredict different from it? It appears a little tighter on the visual maybe? Anyway good job!

#450I made https://meetinghouse.cc as a way for twitter people to put themselves on a map and write a bio, and what they're looking for. It's a way to find and be found, if you want to see who's interesting nearby for friends, dating, new parents meeting new parents, etc. Pins cost $12, there are 474 pins placed so far. This keeps the quality high (there are no spam pins, only real people) but will fundamentally limit th…
Thank goodness. We need more small social media with inherently limited scope to protect from the manipulative garbage coming out of big social media companies.
