Better.ftp – cycling app for FTP tests without subscription

What it does

Connect your smart trainer, pick a protocol, ride until you can't. That's it. No account needed, no subscriptions, no data harvesting. Just you, your legs, and a number. Connect your trainer via Bluetooth or ANT+. Pick your test protocol. Warm up, then give it everything. Live data keeps you on track. Save your file, send it via email, or share it with yourfrom betterftp.cc

In the maker’s words, at launch

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…

  CycleQuest – Indoor Cycling game with steering2024 · cyclequest.cc · ▲6

  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…

  A New Flutter App for Mountain Biking2021 · ▲6

  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.…

  ride-recap, teaching a LLM my taste to automate cycling highlightsJul 2026 · iandmacomber.com · ▲7

  TL;DR: Turn hours of raw GoPro footage + a .fit file into a 60-second highlight reel with ride telemetry burned in. Every second of the ride is scanned by gemini-3.5-flash, as is the clip ranking + curation. The whole thing costs about $0.04 per ride and takes 10 minutes. Longer version: Road cycling has been my primary form of exercise, social outlet, therapy, wardrobe expense, and personality trait for almost a decade. I ride most weekends, usually out of Manhattan and up 9W. By the end of a ride I have hours of GoPro footage and one .fit file with per-second speed, power, heart rate,…

  Needle: We Distilled Gemini Tool Calling into a 26M Model▲776

  Hey HN, Henry here from Cactus. We open-sourced Needle, a 26M parameter function-calling (tool use) model. It runs at 6000 tok/s prefill and 1200 tok/s decode on consumer devices. We were always frustrated by the little effort made towards building agentic models that run on budget phones, so we conducted investigations that led to an observation: agentic experiences are built upon tool calling, and massive models are overkill for it. Tool calling is fundamentally retrieval-and-assembly (match query to tool name, extract argument values, emit JSON), not reasoning. Cross-attention…
