You can't pass on the free trial? Seems like a bit of a dark pattern, I would like to test out the free version of the app before deciding if I want more features.
Yeah, the idea is interesting, but the app being a subscription for no reason is a no-go. This is how you ruin a good idea and kill the goodwill basically.
When I read the Show HN title, I figured this would would scatter seeds on a virtual map and when you run it "waters them" so you can see a garden on a map similar to Strava.
I can actually add this in future updates. Where you run and the path will be shown having flowers and grass and it will look like each step you took planted something and then you can share it. I am currently working on the share run feature.
The idea of the garden is also the same where you run to unlock a plant and tree for your garden.
The folks at artificial museum [1] would probably provide a good model for how to do this - I could imagine running around in their dataspace, planting seeds which grow over time.
I was thinking something like those idle phone games with a virtual garden that gets more plants the more time you've logged.
I do that in real life. Currently with luffa seeds.
Much more fun than any app could be.
I don’t water them regularly but I run with twines and a bottle of fertilizer.
Exactly my thoughts as well :) I was hoping the app would allow me to transform the bare map into a garden.
Me too!
Combining something like CityStrides with a virtual garden would be a great idea!
A long time ago I had the idea of an app to gamify good habits, cool to see people making it real. How was your experience with Capacitor?
It was a smooth ride. The documentation is good and it has useful plugins.
The website and app are great, well done. I think your icon could be better.
This is cute! Something like this might also be perfect for visualizing GitHub commits.
yes, that would be actually really good!
I have a network built around Strava. It would be great if you can add a Strava integration.
I want to implement that. Strava has public apis but I think they are heavily ratelimited and I am not sure they will be ready to partner with me as mine is a really small app. But I will try me best to implement it
Seems like the best flow would be to sync from Apple Health for iOS and Google Fit for Android. Then people can sync data into those platforms from any app they like (like Strava), and you can pull it in.
Thanks for this!!
I was expecting a task runner.
what is that? Could you explain a bit more
A program which runs other programs sequentially or in parallel. See e.g. Make, grunt or gulp.
