Open source Movescount web

@Jouko-from-Suunto said in Open source Movescount web:

Even if the code would be good enough to be open sourced (not going to give my opinion if it is pretty or not) it would be really, really difficult to get the cost of the required servers covered by open community

Suunto still needs servers to host Suunto Cloud API, plus whatever private backend API that is currently used by Suunto App. And there is already a web server to show a view of activity as a web page (when sharing an activity from the app a link to that activity is generated and can be viewed in a web browser). Movescount could be moved on the same servers and changed to use the same backend, so the server cost of going through Movescount wouldn’t be much higher vs. Suunto App clients going through the cloud API.

The only difference I can see that the app can cache some data locally and reduce load on the server, but modern web sites can do some caching on client machines too. Look at Elevate (Stravistix) extension for Strava - it caches a lot of data which allows it to be very fast with multi-year data.

@silentvoyager There’s a trick to bringing up that Suunto app web page of an activity that doesn’t involve sharing an activity in the app.
In your desktop web browser, log into sports-tracker.com. Then navigate to any activity of yours that you want to see the Suunto app web page for. Once you’re on the SportsTracker web page for your activity, replace “www.sports-tracker.com” in the address bar with “app.suunto.com” and hit enter. And boom, there it is.
SportsTracker and Suunto app web pages use exactly the same URL naming system for every workout: /workout/username/gobbledygook. They’re identical, and you just have to change the start of the URL.

Oh, thats really interesting! And there are correct elevation data on the link with app.suunto.com instead on the sports-tracker site we have 0/0 for elevation data…

@mfischer01 Yes, I want that as well (as software developer, I could do sort-out something)

another spammer?

@Dimitrios-Kanellopoulos any news about this? Any consideration from Suunto to “open” the usb protocols for openambit?

I think we should rename this thread… “open source” seems to attract spammers like the shit stake flies
