Great idea! I’ll work on integrating swimming, cycling, and more. Really helpful feedback and thanks for trying it out!!

Thanks for the heads-up on the bugs! Super weird on the MacOS download…it’s iOS only so I’m surprised it’d let you download it on Mac.

Thanks for letting me know about the connection bugs! Will hopefully have an update for that ASAP

Woahhhh thank you for sharing! I had never heard of these initiatievs, they're really interesting and I'm going to take a closer look at each of them.

Also sounds really cool with what you've done with your own Twitter data! Would love to connect and hear more about it if you're willing to share some of the outputs -- I'm @_re_pete on X and Instagram!

Ahhhh interesting, thanks for pointing this out!

Looked into it and it has to do with how Swift and JS (for the WebView visualization) handle dates. Will push a bug fix in the next update!

Thanks so much! I found it funny to look back on those days and see what I did to merit those steps too!!

And yes! You can toggle your units in the Account Preferences under settings, but I should add a note that the option is available because it is buried a little too deep.

Thanks so much for giving it a look!

I can definitely add a cycling data piece or make it a toggle for the existing pieces too!

Will look into adding Strava as well, have worked with it in the past but they recently further restricted their APIs.

Have looked into Apple Music and unfortunately they only make your recently played songs available via API, so have been digging to see if there are other ways to make the visualizations with the same depth as the data I am able to get from Spotify's API.

Will share updates on these as I add them across X and Instagram @_re_pete!

Thanks! Appreciate the notes on the app site, just updated to make those edits!

For socials, I am sharing progress on X and Instagram @_re_pete -- fixed the link on the site as well.

I will definitely look into adding last.fm, great suggestion. Agreed that it does a nice job of collecting data across streaming services, so it definitely merits its own integration and set of visualizations.

I will say, the nice thing about Spotify is it has stats about the songs and artists themselves (genres, stats, etc.) that other platforms and last.fm lack.=, so would have to rethink a few of them.
