So a ~~strava~~ replacement would be good.

And I also thought that we could do live tracking on the website, so that Fetchies could follow the progress of (willing) Fetchies in big races.
Binks Nov 2015 2:14pm, 20 Nov 2015 6,838 posts	Quote Pin Binks Some kind of "track that fetchie" option. For example if I see a fetchie at a parkrun I might be intrigued as to who they are. If they had this option switched on their phone I could say "yeah it's so and so, they are clearly an idiot because they think that bourbons are the best kind of biscuit and so I am not going to bother talking to them". So a bit like grindr really....

I don't generally run with my phone (although sometimes listen to podcasts on long runs, but use Forerunner for GPS track) but would use an app version of the mobile site if it had a nicer interface.
