I am building a free version of Strava

I recently added a Segments feature to the Hangtime mountain biking app for Android and IOS. If you are familiar with Strava’s segments, this new feature works much the same. For example, you can add a segment to an existing recorded ride by simply defining a start and end point for the segment. Once the segment is created, it will match any new rides, and optionally “back match” all previous rides. If a segment matches a ride, you you will see your time to complete that segment as well as your personal record (PR) and king of the mountain (KOM) for that segment. The KOM represents the best…

In plain words

Hangtime is a free mountain biking app for Android and iOS that tracks rides and includes a Segments feature similar to Strava. Users can define start and end points on recorded rides to create segments that automatically match against future rides and optionally past rides. The app displays completion times, personal records, and king-of-the-mountain standings for each segment, along with historical performance data to track improvement over time.

    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.…
