My favourite thing about this @fitpub release is that it introduces two features that not even #Strava has: 1) adding official results to race activities 2) being able to set the time zone on indoor activities, so a 4pm swim in Sydney doesn't appear as a 5am swim in London. 🏃🏼 🏊🏼 😁 🤓

I am surprised that many websites don't have a Content Security Policy, despite it being such a simple way to guard against cross-site scripting attacks. However to be fair, I didn't start using it until recently, even though it has being available across all browsers since 2016.

As a fan of both @fitpub and @openstreetmap, I am intrigued where open data from the latter can be used to create features in the former. My first idea is using leisure=track data to determine a track achievement. codeberg.org/fitpub/fitpub/issues/5… #Fitpub #OpenStreetMap
codeberg.org
idea: track achievement
Given that [dedicated tracks in OpenStreetMap](https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Tag:leisure%3Dtrack) are mapped as an area or way, it could be nifty if there is an achievement when an activity happens on a track.
