The recent API changes in Strava reminded me of how limited our access is to the data stored on their platform. As a dominant player in the fitness space, they could gradually lock features behind a subscription wall.

While this might raise privacy or safety concerns, could the AT Protocol be a suitable platform for storing GPX or FIT files?

I’d love a federated Strava replacement. Unfortunately I don’t believe that the AT Protocol supports private or limited visibility posts yet, which I think is a pretty key feature for Strava’s use case.

Once atproto has first party support for private records I'm definitely expecting a massive increase in interest. It would open so many doors and is probably the main thing holding back many potential use cases as of now.
