|---|
| 10 | The idea behind OpenWorkouts is to provide an open source tool everybody can |
|---|
| 11 | use to keep track of workouts, in the form of a web-based application. |
|---|
| 12 | |
|---|
| 13 | This includes: |
|---|
| 14 | |
|---|
| 15 | - Multi-user support, allowing users to signup with an account and then |
|---|
| 16 | log in and out. |
|---|
| 17 | |
|---|
| 18 | - Create workouts manually, providing info such as workout day, duration, |
|---|
| 19 | distance, speed, elevation, etc |
|---|
| 20 | |
|---|
| 21 | - Create workouts by uploading "tracking files", like gpx_ or ANT_ fit_ files |
|---|
| 22 | |
|---|
| 23 | - View workouts on a date-based interface |
|---|
| 24 | |
|---|
| 25 | - View details of each workout |
|---|
| 26 | |
|---|
| 27 | - View a profile page for each user with the user workouts, statistics, etc |
|---|
| 28 | |
|---|
| 29 | - Tools to analize, compare and interact with workouts |
|---|
| 30 | |
|---|
| 31 | - Tools to share workouts between users, manage club/group workouts and events |
|---|
| 32 | |
|---|
| 33 | - and many more... |
|---|
| 34 | |
|---|
| 35 | If you are familiar with online services like strava_, `garmin connect`_, etc |
|---|
| 36 | the idea of this project is to provide a similar solution, but in a package |
|---|
| 37 | you can install locally in your computer or a server of your own. |
