The solution to all of your 1) issues is: *do* *not* *use* *the* *strava* *app* *to* *record*!

It’s garbage, just use the built in Apple Health/Fitness app. it’s loads better and has mirroring form the watch to the phone for bike rides.

Afterwards just import the workout to Strava.

For added convenience use RunGap.

Still doesn’t solve the HR issue though. Which unfortunately was the root of all this.

Sure it does. You can pair HR chest straps (and since watchOS 10 also bike sensors) to the apple watch (as long as you use the native workout app).

The workout app uses the HR sensor rather than the watch sensor? You sure?

Or use a decent tracker like one of the many different Garmin options.

All my “good habit apps” (Duolingo for language learning, Hevy for gym) have some sort of community building aspect to them whether its likes/comments/following. I feel like each of them has to balance a “does this build a community that novices enjoy” while not becoming another social media/communication app and bombarding people with notifications.

The badges are so sick btw.

Aside from.a dark theme, I really don't like any of the suggestions. I like DM as sometimes I don't like to comment publicly on my friends activities.
