right, sorry, here's a public repo: https://github.com/imbeard/hypersend

Pirate flag is for when we can't obtain country data, for example if using uBlocker or any ad blocking extension which blocks services for working with IPs

Hi hmr, true but like every other website/app that want to measure where you're going, think Strava, Komoot or any fitness app

What url have you received? no strange activity detected on our end

Hey jelicicm, thanks for your feedback,it's very useful. We've just released this beta version so probably some bug is still present. Did you received any message when you stopped tracking? Cause I can't see any activity logged this morning so something has gone wrong for sure. thanks!
elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
true, but which one? we can't know before who will win, thanks for the idea btw

I get your point, we could have offered a 50€ on for example a pair of cycling gloves, but probably shipping them to your door will emit the same amount of CO2 of a week of you streaming on Netflix. Btw Netflix was the 1st thing that came in mind, suggestions on something digital which is more sustainable or simply better are welcome.

Hi, thanks for your feedback, do you have suggestions on how to improve the sign up process? and for now the PWA is the faster/simpler/cost effective way to have this kind of platform up and running, and it's literally 2 taps on every phone to install it, so it's not that difficult, my 2 cents
elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
yes probably they've added something during the years, but on some segments at least here in Italy, there are some crazy times and speed, light years away from PRO numbers, so there's still some cheating going on

It really depends where the power comes from, not every charge station power comes from fossil sources. Btw driving an eBike is probably better than driving a car, at least for your health, and probably for the environment too
elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
cool, a malus when you try to "cheat" would be a nice addition for sure, also considering public transport, but that looks harder to implement

also check spam folders, some mail servers flag our domain as spam
elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
nope, we're just saying that to compete for the 1st race the avg. speed needs to be under 18 km/h, maybe the 2nd race will be just commutings > 25km/h ;)
elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
haha this is very true, we decided to launch now to collect feedback and be ready for when the weather will be nicer
elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
hey, thanks, good feedback, yes 18km/h is quite slow but we aimed to a broader range of people for this 1st race, even people walking can do it.

And yes I'm already aware about the scrollbar thing, i'll fix it shortly

elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
hi, yeah straight syncing with real devices like Wahoo or Garmin is something we could consider in the future, it really depends how much the platform will be used and how many requests like this we'll have
elbarbabrb··on Show HN: Vado – A platform to encourage people to cycle and walk more
yeah Strava doesn't have a check in place for this, in fact there are a lot of unreal stats in there, we check the effective average speed of your commuting, and the 1st race has a avg speed limit of < 18km/h so unless you want to go around in your car at that avg speed without causing accidents or be yelled every 30 seconds is pretty much not-usable with a car.

hey acomjean, thanks for your message, yeah we tried to keep it super simple and somehow ignorant but not in a bad way :) it's still in the very early days so every feedback is super appreciated!

Hey there, we’re a collective of italian bike-enthusiast people who are trying to sensibilize other people to avoid car usage. Check out this new platform we just launched: https://vado.cc

It’s a sort of game where you can win a prize just doing miles commuting, riding by walking, cycling or with whatever vehicle which is not fossil fuel powered (we have a lot of checks in place so cheating by using a car or a motorbike) is impossible

While we're in beta races are free to partecipate! after they're gonna be really cheap
