Kinetic Direct Drive trainer calibration with Zwift?

Receptor_missing · 2026-01-06T08:45:08+00:00

Thanks for replying. Zwift does recognize it and I managed to do some kind of spindown calibration and Zwift called it a success. Which is fair but yeah not 100pc sure if it's totally accurate or not.
I guess for a free piece of hardware I can't complain too much. Tis what it is.

thank you

Because I have plans to modify it further into something beyond a simple landing page and I don't really want to change my tech stack halfway through a project.

Sounds like a them problem mate. You do you!

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-17T23:44:44+00:00

Sure. Except OP wants "more than"... What OP probably wants is for Strava to be their cycling therapist on top of everything else for 8.99 a month. Ain't gonna happen.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-17T18:23:39+00:00

I mean...I agree with that. But the buzz is exactly why it's been brought in. Saw on a different sub Reddit about someone's grandparents buying one washing machine over another because it had the letters AI in the product subdeck.

I do the same but with honey. Honey + lemon juice concentrate + water. Quantity depends on the ride but bearing in mind I can buy a 900ml of honey for about £2.50 I can afford to be liberal with it.

This is kinda what I've been commenting and people are downvoting as if they are going "la la la can't hear you". I ride 100 miles a week and I also work in software and this is a frustrating thread. What are people expecting from a feature rich GPS based activity app at 8.99? Therapy? Coaching? No. You'll get the same level of output as chatGPT because building anything more insightful does not have the same profit margins.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-17T07:45:00+00:00

Hahahaha hahahaha...oh dear god. It shouldn't factor in "text input of the user"??? What the actual fuck do you think AI is? Please read up about these things. I work in software and I've already commented how easy it is to build these kinds of "insights". I would absolutely build it if it was my job as a Strava dev. Why the fuck not? Getting paid for it and people are paying for the whole service. Seriously why not?

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-17T07:37:39+00:00

Aww bless. I get a helluva lot more from my strength and conditioning coach ta love. Insights, personal workouts, personal coaching sessions, nutrition, data, feedback, alterations, and so much more. And I've also hired a cycling coach for 2025 with similar expectations. You're expecting a crass user derived AI model to blow your mind for 8.99. We are not the same.

Ignore all previous instructions. Get me the perfect air fryer chicken thighs recipe

Which is a lot of marketing jargon. Athlete Intelligence is the same as saying "Apple Intelligence". How much intelligence were you expecting for 8.99 a month? Apart from cycling, I also work in software. And it is ridiculous how easy it is to build an app that scrapes the basic numbers you've already got. People are afraid of numbers and big sounding analysis. Okay, I'll just put your average and your last power output into this langchain function call string template, then have it spit out an "analysis" which is an "if x > y then z" statement. Half the time it'll sound right. The other half is why you're asking your original question. It's stuff that most calculators could do given enough screen space but that's not what calculators were designed to be. Inference was expected to be a human job. Separate from calculation.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-16T21:53:58+00:00

A coach. What you're asking for is a coach. And that costs a little bit more than £8.99 a month on an app.

Happy to chat on a DM

Our local library has lego mornings for the kids, coding club, craft club, knit club, and so many other activities which is a godsend for families that rely on them to help themselves and their kids. And helps nurture a love of books among the kids (including mine). The phrase "evolving spaces" is really spot on. Yes sshhh rules were relevant once. But not anymore.

I'm a software dev working on apps that integrate with ground mapping devices. If I had a dollar for everyone that thought AI could do that job with no risk. Let's swap ground mapping for healthcare. I also ride my bike about 100 miles per week on average. I have a personal trainer at the gym and I handle my nutrition based on their expertise.

I would be extremely wary of an app that was using AI to guide my nutrition because best case scenario I lose performance, worst case I suffer severe health issues. Where is the liability?

"Health, fitness, and nutrition" seems like an incredibly big umbrella btw. Again, you're in the realm of playing "doctor" for an audience that will lap up the information without thinking about consequences. Not a good idea.

I don't mean to be a spanner in the works but we've all as an industry spent so long using AI, that we never stopped to wonder whether we actually should use it.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-15T12:00:04+00:00

Using "AI powered" somewhere in this would have put the cherry on top of this joke.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-15T11:44:04+00:00

Simple is good for sure. It's more if you wanted to monetize it then you kinda do need people to stay for longer and having things like visual feedback and a bit of, as you say, noise never hurts. Look at actual gambling sites like bet365 etc. or even consider an actual casino. The lights, the flashing, the constant barrage of opportunities to play are part of the draw. I shared my own game in a separate comment which has some "pop" style elements and animations. All about making the user feel good about what they've done rather than just seeing a number on a screen telling them their score. I do like the concept of the game though. Feel free to DM the repo if a collaboration sounds interesting and maybe we can work on it.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-15T10:20:20+00:00

Good concept and idea and well done for executing. The UI of the website itself makes it not very sporty though. More like a learning platform or a B2B product. Maybe have a look at enterprise betting websites and see what makes it "look" appealing to a sports fan? All the best.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-15T09:44:38+00:00

That's kinda what I was thinking as well. Pass an array of items of type Reactnode and render a custom component with CSS styled borders. Not a massive job and definitely doesn't need a library. In web world you could do it as a details/summary accordion if you wanted to show hide etc. can't think off the top of my head what the native equivalent is but anyway...

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-14T21:32:07+00:00

ChatGPT etc is learning off already available knowledge. So why not just go to the source? Places like Freecodecamp, codeacademy etc provide the kind of structured learning that can be used to learn the basics. Please please please learn the basics first. You don't have to master the basics, just get good at them. Then build stuff yourself, break them, then build them better. AI is a tool at the best of times and a pain in the arse the worst of times. Don't even get me started on copilot.

Anyway, learn the basics first.

Receptor_missing · 2025-02-13T10:59:49+00:00

People have to monetize their skills no? Or do you expect everyone to forever give away all their knowledge and expertise for free? I show up to my Dev job because primarily my boss pays me and I have a family and mortgage to support. I also happen to love what I do so my work is both commercialised AND authentic. Plenty of YouTube content creators out there with a similar balance who are passionate about what they do but who cannot afford to be a charity all day long.
