Products that do what CycleQuest – Indoor Cycling game with steering does
Hello HN! I made a game for smart bike trainers focused on gamified progression, real-world locations, and steering using a smartphone. It differs from other apps by requiring you to complete routes in a specific order, without the ability to skip or make it easier. It's available for Windows and macOS. Last year, I got into road cycling. Because of this, I acquired a smart bike trainer (you attach it to your bike and apps can control its resistance via Bluetooth). I tried a couple of apps but quickly became bored. I feel they are mostly focused on either online racing or a serious…

Bit more than a year ago, we created the project called Budapest Cycle Track. The idea is simple: there are many cyclers in Budapest but where do they ride exactly? Which are the busiest routes? With the iPhone or Android apps cyclers can track their routes and upload them on a common map. The results are beautiful. With UrbanCyclr we'd like to do the same but globally. Full screen map: http://www.urbancyclr.com/static/map.html If you think you can create more beautiful maps than fusion tables don't hesitate to contact me :) For the enthusiasts, here is a video that KIBU made using the data:…

I have been working on a new mountain biking app for the last year called Hangtime. It is a free ride computer app that uses a smartphone's GPS, accelerometer, gyroscope, and altimeter to track a mountain bike ride. After recording a ride, the user can go back and see their performance in turns, jumps, climbs, etc. Below is a video that shows off some of the app's features. https://youtu.be/TXiwzf-UJhQ I wasn't sure I could get the performance required from Flutter/Dart vs. native as a one hour ride generates well over a million data points from all of the sensor data.…

I just launched my first-ever mobile app. It’s called STEPRACERS, a game where you compete with friends by tracking your steps. The idea came from someone close to me who completely changed their life by focusing on their health. Every night, they’d send me their step count - a small, daily ritual that became a powerful reminder of progress. So I turned it into a game. It’s fun. It’s simple. And it might just push you to hit your 10k steps a day.

Hi HN! We were trying to have our team adopt AI more and had the idea for "AI Bingo" - hands-on, mini challenges that resulted in something delightful and real. Our team members were obsessed, they were saying it was "weirdly addictive." People made AI-generated ASMR videos, n8n automations, games. Our email marketer built an Electron app using Claude Code. We were stunned - people were learning by doing AND having fun. So, we've spent the last few weeks building Made That, where anyone can do the same challenges and see other people's submissions. A lot of people feel a lot of existential…

Hi HN, My motivation for this came from frustration with existing workout trackers. Most felt clunky, hid core features like performance graphs behind a paywall, or forced a native app download. A few people close to me who take their training seriously shared the same sentiment, so I decided to build my own. I'm working on mTOR, a free, science-based workout tracker I built to automate progressive overload. It's a local-first PWA that works completely offline, syncs encrypted between your devices using passwordless passkeys, and allows for plan sharing via a simple link. The core idea is to…

I built a free iOS app so cyclists can stop paying $20/mo just to retest their FTP. The ramp test itself is a 25-minute Bluetooth interaction with a known protocol. It shouldn't require rent. This app is opensource, free, no ads, no tracking nor third party integrations because I just wanted to have a fun side project and have no interest in monetization. If you are a cyclist, I would kindly ask for feedback on the app especially on the ftp test protocol instructions, trainer-model compatibility, and bug reports App store link:…
