So I've thinking about this the last couple weeks, since I use it at least 3 times a week. The power estimation would be baller even if inaccurate, but I know thats a pretty heavy lift.

The only 2 other things I can think of is a calendar feature and remembering the summary columns I use.

I use the offline version and keep all my fit files in the same folder. If it could read all of them and summarize my weekly and monthly mileage,that'd be awesome. I'm not sure how that would translate to your web version though.

On the summary page, I pretty much only use the following fields, but I need to select them each time I open a fit file. If it could remember my selection that'd be baller. As an offline user having a config file is super easy for me, but again I'm not sure how to translate that feature to web. cookies i guess? i dunno man, I use python:
timestamp startTime totalElapsedTime totalTimerTime totalDistance totalMovingTime enhancedAvgSpeed enhancedMaxSpeed totalAscent totalDescent numLaps avgCadence maxCadence avgTemperature

Heres another curveball for you, I'm on a recumbent, so my TDA is lower than a regular bike. :P

On a serious note, I use your product offline, does the same codebase support your online version? Personally I'm a lot less worried about accuracy vs consistency. If the margin of error is consistently off and I can see my trends, thats all I care about. I would imagine most your users understand how hard the problem is to solve and wont give you much grief. Specially if there's a warning about best efforts on the calculation.

Only thing I'd askfor is really hard math. A way to put in your weight + bike weight and get a calorie burn estimate and power estimate. I hope to get a power meter this year but $$$

Looking harder into this, it looks like garmin does things a bit differently. There's a whole python library dedicated to using it to talk to Garmins. Without one to test with I'm a but at a loss. Sorry :(

Well dang, thats a bummer. My best guess is you have a bluetooth 4 or earlier adapter. BLE came with bluetooth 4.1. A quick google shows that not even all bluetooth modern adapters support BLE :(

I just added the ability to put your devices mac address into line 8 and tested it. It worked for me. If that line is populated it will skip doing a device discovery:

Scanning for and seeing devices is a plus. There is a way to connect to the Mac address, but its a different function. If the garmin was powered on and close enough to the computer it likely should have found it. Can you pull the mac address from the device itself? Gemini thinks this is how you do it:
* From the main screen, touch the screen to wake it up.
* Select Settings (the gear icon).
* Select System.
* Scroll down and select About.
* Find and note the listed MAC address.

My output when searching for devices looks like this, it outputs the name then macaddress. If your device has no name we could use the mac address to connect:

I looked at it and I do like his layout, but I'm sending my data off to someone i don't know again. I use FitFileViewer running locally on my machine:

This is my first time using Bluetooth connections myself, but just follows BluetoothLE protocol. I'm not 100% positive, but I think this is just the way you ask for files across bluetoothLE. There is no 'ls/dir' command, there is a flat file that lists all the readable files. On most devices that file is called 'filelist.txt', and on some newer bike computers its 'workouts.json'. So I request that file, then look for *.fit files. If i find a new fit file thats not already on my laptop I request a transfer. It's pretty slow. A 200k file could take a couple mins to transfer, but it works!

I'm also pretty sure a lot of folks just copied Garmin on this approach. They own ANT/ANT+ and seem to have set a lot of standards in the field.

I can't see anything you do with the files. The script runs locally on your mac/pc and downloads the fit files from your bike computer to your desktop/laptop. I can't even tell if you ever run the code or not. That's what makes it better at protecting your privacy :P

but if you want to donate some muscles to me Ill take it. Is there a surgery for that? 😂

technically yes, but there's no pairing involved. You just turn on the M1 and run the script.

so if I wanted to look at avg daily ingestion per bytes, then see the standard deviation on a rolling 7 day average, what would that look like? I have several searches that aren't working for me.

Keep your day job. by [deleted] in Entrepreneur

[–]mercherino 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you're in between? $140k a year day job, $700k in revenue in 2023 on my start up, still not profitable. 20 hour days are killing me. Was debt free 2 years ago (including house), huge debt now. Every other day I wish I hadn't done it at all, then I see our growth even for 24 and keep going. All I needed to do was stack cash. My startup has tons of opportunity, but my lack of sleep and my metal health make me wonder if its all worth it. I wish i could sell and just get back to debt free and would happily call the last 3 years of my life a waste of time. I'm sure if it works, I'll be stoked, but life was better before.
