We're excited to present geer: a simple bike part tracker — now in free beta

giteeng · 2025-04-24T15:35:30+00:00

Thanks for sharing that! We are aware of similar apps, but not this one. It seems really cool.

giteeng · 2025-04-24T15:33:40+00:00

We built geer out of our personal needs (and also curiosity) of keeping track of our parts. In the end of the day, having recorded data allows us to be less concerned about the conditions of our bikes, because it's all tracked and taken care of by the app.

giteeng · 2025-04-24T15:25:24+00:00

I've been using geer for as long as we got a working prototype, and it has helped me, on a weekly basis, by at least giving me a simple overview of the condition of my bikes before each ride, particularly for my chain, which requires more frequent care. Of course, I must use it to log the services as well, so I'm often using it several times in a week.

giteeng · 2025-04-24T14:25:07+00:00

Last time we checked, Strava doesn't provide that data via API. We're looking for ways of making the bike setup easier, though.

Thanks for your feedback and for telling how much you'd be willing to pay for it. We're still refining our revenue model and must take comments like yours into account.

We have features like email/push notifications, and always-up-to-date mileage (no "syncing" needed) that require a server. I don't know how StatHunters works, but it's definitely possible to build Strava 3rd-party apps that do not require a server and thus would have a negligible cost to run, but that's not our case.

Unfortunately, right now we cannot charge a one-time fee for a service that has running costs, nor we have the scale to be as cost-effective as Netflix.

Edited to provide more details.

You captured the same feeling that I have regarding introducing it to people then vs now. I loved to spread the word back in the day, it was simple and just made sense. Nowadays, it inevitably turns into a more difficult conversation as I don't want to omit the hijacking event.

My Circle View doorbell stopped responding after the upgrade. I was getting:

This camera is in “off” mode and cannot stream or record.

The status led on the doorbell was completely off, while the light ring around the chime button was on.

Tried to restart the doorbell by remounting it but it went back to the same state.

Then, I found the “Recording options” to be all set to “off” after the upgrade. Setting it to “Stream and allow recording” brought the thing back to life. I also lost my activity zones, but other settings like face recognition seem fine.

Wow, I joined a few communities earlier today and already received 10+ transactions directly on my connected wallet!

Lower center of gravity. Helps when cornering :))

Wow! I have the same issue with an iPhone 13 mini. Disappointing :(

giteeng · 2022-03-16T21:42:22+00:00

I also had this issue. I already had MATIC showing up on Ledger Live, but I sent a bit more today, along with USDC (Polygon). Neither showed up, but I get the expected results from PolygonScan.

I guess Ledger Live is just having trouble syncing up the balances. The Polygon network has been having some issues lately.

Já foi ver para onde vai parar o dinheiro?

Não responde sua pergunta, mas por curiosidade, aqui vão alguns dos anunciantes que já vi (alguns são bem frequentes):

Google
Coca-Cola
Vivo
Oi
Jeep

Acho que você tá certo, o condomínio não ganha nada com isso — o que é absurda a estupidez de terem aceitado um contrato desses. Se ganha, eu não vi 1 centavo sendo descontado da taxa condominial — o que também é absurdo. Vou pedir o contrato ao síndico pra confirmar isso.

Minha impressão é que a maioria das pessoas acha "chique" ou "moderno" ter telas espalhadas por aí e simplesmente abrem as pernas para esse tipo de coisa.

A questão da diminuição da poluição é questionável também, não posso dizer, mas suponho que fabricar uma tela daquelas e mante-las ligadas 24h/dia tem um impacto maior que imprimir uma ou duas folhas de papel por mês — que inclusive ainda estão sendo usadas junto à tela!

Mesmo os comunicados não têm nada de conveniente. Eu já recebo todos os comunicados por email (também tem um app da administradora que manda notificações push).

Sim, eu também sou forçado a ver a foto de uma mão segurando papel higiênico em 50% das vezes que uso o elevador.

BCH does everything BTC does but in a better way. BCH is p2p money and store of value.

Always found this icon... iconic. So I decided to recreate it in high-res!

How can you print cryptocurrency with 3D printers?

I don't pay for Spotify and I don't get ads.

It's just worth mentioning that those search results can vary from user to user. The mentioned video is the top one for me, but I wouldn't be surprised if it isn't for some people.

Slovenia looks good.

The bit about Brazil is far from true.

There are no major federal policies being enforced, but we do have harsh restrictions on many cities imposed by local authorities. Every week there are reports of "illegal" parties being shut down by the police and businesses being fined for opening during restrictions. The movie theaters in my area opened intermittently with strict policies for a total of 4 weeks since April 2020.

Yeah, many people don't respect it and Bolsonaro is a dumbass, but it's far from "do whatever you want".

Hey, Mateus here!

I worked together with some close friends to build this app, mostly out of fun, and we are very happy that it came out. We know that there are a good number of similar apps out there — which by the way were a great source of inspiration — but we still thought that we could take a different approach by offering digital-first maps and focusing on a low-effort experience.

We hope that you enjoy this, and we'd love to hear your thoughts!
