Tools to find activities using a map + strava data.
I used svelte + Strava APIs + Mapbox APIs to create some handy tools for updating my strava data.
- Needle in Haystack Problem:
I often want to find rides I did that I know went to a certain area. I built a tool to bring in past rides and search within X meters of a spot I identify on a map. This is a pretty cool problem which it turns out can usually be solved even using the compressed Polyline version of the route you get from Strava's API on your first pull. - Map-Bike-to-Ride Problem:
I want to quickly change my bike to the appropriate bike for a given ride. I made a tool to let me set default bikes based on temperature, average speed, or whether a ride is virtual or not (because I have a different bike set up on my trainer than the one I use outdoors). Currently, this is a tool I use manually to update rides, but eventually I'll set this up with webhooks to update automatically.
I wrote this project up as a simple svelte+netlify how-to in a blog post.
