Oddbean new post about login | logout In '22 I've worked out a concept for a social app for cyclists, with ideas and sketches. It was based on a other social app for petrolheads (where I was the product owner on behalf of my client). Here's a rough sketch https://shares.sebastix.dev/GkkSMpoL.png I know it's possible to build this with Nostr, but we need a decent NIP for activities (and the GPX data) and you're just set the first landmark for this 🙏 I'm a Strava power user as well, so I pretty well know what we have to build. As for now I'm very busy with @nostrphp which has my focus regarding Nostr dev work. The rest of the time I'm busy with client work, building fullstack solutions with #Drupal.
It would be really cool to be able to share hikes, especially long ones, with just someone following an npub.
Like a npub with just the hikes of that person? Maybe their booths should get a npub then 😄 In my concept for cycling activities the idea is to attach a keypair to a bike as well so it would be possible to broadcast event on behalf of your bike instead of you as a cyclist or your user keypair.
Yes. I see that the amethyst client has the ability to tag locations already built in. I would love it if we could just render path files (IIRC, GMX files?) from FOSS tracking apps or even non-FOSS systems like Garmin or the newer Motorola satellite coms/tracking devices, of which I own one for the solo hiking I do as an emergency beacon. So, the system would have to be able to read path data, overlay it onto a map (OSM utilization, probably), render an image, then also allow for other media to be attached to pins on the path automatically so people can share pics or comments about a particular spot or even specifically at a particular heading from a particular spot. There are apps that do this for hiking like FAROUT. But... I'd rather have this on nostr, obviously.
