I'm working on https://cubetrek.com, a web app to manage, visualize and compare your running, hiking, mountainbiking, skiing... activities. Some features include: a github-style calendar heatmap, 3D visualization of tracks (especially useful for hill climbs and mountaineous terrain in general), a world map displaying all your activities at once.

Excluded features: although you can share yoir tracks to the world, should you choose so, there are no friends, no likes, no comments, i.e. none of that social networking stuff. And no ads.

Any feedback is appreciated, let me know what you think, what to improve!

I confess I don't have a very social life, but I don't know what makes strava bad from the social ideas, there. That is to say, if it is just the social you don't like, can't you just not follow anyone?

Agree, but that's a bit like using Instagram only as your personal photo album. Sure you can do it, but I don't think that's the intention. Same with Strava, if you only need to have a nice webapp to keep track of your activities, some nice stats and visualization, it might be a bit of overkill, especially with the current sunscription fees.

But to each his own...

Makes sense, and this product looks solid. I'd go for a more active tagline, though?
