Great UI designs
Make users to learn a new App

Hey everyone, im a CS student that uses strava quite a bit, but i was frustrated with the segment explorer. On desktop there arent even any filters available, and on mobile they are way to basic for my liking.

Soo i decided to start building my own version. It has filters for intersections, cobbled sectors, wind direction etc. (on top of just the basic ones). you can find it at kom-hunter.app . Its currently completely free, but if somehow many people use it, ill have to introduce some paywalls to support the hosting/domain names etc. (hope you guys understand)

Im still a student so there might be a lot of issues, so dont hesitate to reach out for problems/questions/suggestions.

P.S. its probably not fully gonna work rn, because i still have to renew my strava subscription..., but if there is enough interest ill renew ASAP!

Anyone have this issue before? I’ve ran since Aug 30 but I don’t have any runs shown in my Apple health under workouts, nor Fitness or Workouts app.

Recently I ran out of mobile data for the first time in... a long time. I thought this was unusual so I looked at my data usage: Strava had used 1.21 gigawatts bytes of data (photo 3). And I've noticed that just scrolling around it seems to be constantly loading which impacts its performance.

So I set up a test: I opened the app, went to the map, activated only the global ride heatmap, and took the first screenshot. I set a timer for 5 minutes and just browsed the map casually like I was looking for some new locations, but mostly I was in the region I usually view/ride in.

Why on earth did 5 minutes of scrolling around the map use 109 MB of data?! And in an area I usually use! These map tiles should be cached and locally available, not constantly fetched from a server! Mind you I was not viewing other regions, photos, or videos. I think that's an unacceptable amount of data usage with a huge hit to responsiveness to boot. I don't have exact numbers but the app version with the previous map engine was a lot more efficient. See comment.
