I can't create an account because it uses Facebook, I'll wait for the next version.

This is a product for tracking everything you do, and tries to accomplish that by pulling data from other services that track everything you do. Is Facebook uniquely untrustworthy in this category? Is there anything about Gyroscope that makes it uniquely trustworthy, if only they gathered your data directly?

I would like to use it but not reveal who I am. I think this is more than fair enough reason, and probably the direction these guys should move towards.

That is a very fancy website. I envy your web developer's front end skills.

By "your web developer's", I think you mean "your" :) Gyroscope was created by Anand Sharma, who did all the design AND front end development. https://medium.com/gyroscope-innovations/introducing-gyrosco...

It should be illegal to be this good at design. The site is responsive, is HDPI optimized, and is damn beautiful. I'm envious. :)

It's crazy to see how far @aprilzero has come with this. Actually bringing his idea to life, and turning it into a profitable business. There's a lesson to be learnt here in regards to working passionately and finishing your side-projects.

Designers who can engineer are a step ahead of everyone else IMO.

Ah so this is the consumer version of the http://aprilzero.com site: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8043203

Yep! Took a while to figure out an elegant setup process and generalize the design but we're finally getting close

Laughed hard at timeoutSet()

Anyone recommend running apps? I use Nike Running but it doesn't integrate with this. Any recommendations between Strava and RunKeeper? (I run and will be getting into cycling shortly.) Thank you!!

Found a way to pull my runs out of Nike Running and export to Strava, Runkeeper or MapMyRun:

Download your files, unzip, then upload the GPX files directly to the app of your choice.

Enjoy :)
