The zeroth challenge

10:26am, 29 Nov 2019
In case you've missed my subtle hints, The Festive Fetch Calendar (Daily Prizes From December 1st) starts on Sunday :-)

Humbug
For those of you who don't like the Christmas background to the site, or are just not ready for it yet, you can turn it off. In the page footer, look for the little dropdown that says 'Christmas', and choose a different skin from the options available. I don't mind :-)

Snow
There will be no snow on pages until at least the 12th; and you will only see it if you have the Christmas skin enabled.

Prizes
I *might* have a gap to fill. Shout out your creative suggestions for companies I can approach to plug the gap that I may or may not have. And don't panic, the pasties are already confirmed.

Challenges
I like to throw in some new challenges each year. There's a new one called Turbo Shandy. But I'd love a few more. Please come up with some in the comments, to help me out.

  • Err, is it Christmas by any chance?! I thought you weren't allowed to do this until midnight on Sunday?! According to FB memes, every time a person puts up their Christmas tree before Dec 1 an elf drowns a baby reindeer. And you've put up loads of little Christmas trees on the top of my browser. Baby reindeer slaughter! :-O

    Good luck with the Fetch Festive Advent Calendar and well done on all your hard work pulling it together. It's Chrrrriiiiissssssstttttmmmmaaaaaassssss! :-) G

Calling all Polar users

The nice folks at Polar sent me a second-hand Polar Vantage M so I could test out their new API. I've been playing with it this afternoon, and managed to get it to the point where it will produce a list of your activities, allowing you to import them by pressing a button.

Go here to set yourself up:

I hope to make this process automatic eventually i.e. as soon as you've finished a run, it will appear within minutes on Fetch; but I'm waiting to hear back from them regarding a query.

Mobile Optimisation

7:14pm, 20 Nov 2019
Yesterday's blog about the Android app generated lots of interesting comments - thank you. I would be most interested in finding out wherever HappyG gets reconditioned Samsung A10's for a tenner, because that sounds like an absolute bargain.

I've been hovering over the 'Reserve' button on a new A10 from Argos (£139), but I think I'll hold back for a week or two (it takes me a long time to commit to spending any money that the site generates), watch some YouTube tutorials (there's even one in Hindi!), and have a play round with the emulator (although I'd quickly get to the point where I need to pump in some real-world GPS data).

Android have a much friendlier approach to app developers it seems. An Apple Developer license is £79 per year, whereas to become an Android Developer, it's a one-off £25.

Lots of you said nice things about how the site behaves on mobile now. There are still a few areas that bug me. One example is the 'Plot A Route' page. If you look at this page on mobile, all the buttons at the top of the map look absolutely dreadful: fetcheveryone.com/routes-add.php

I thought it'd be good to collect your examples of mobile niggles. Feature #189 asks for some mobile optimisations, but it'd be good to get some specific examples from all of you. Which pages have buttons/links/nav that are a bit too wee? Which pages have data that gets squished up and amateur-looking? Which pages do you simply avoid until you get back to your desktop? Leave your comments, and hopefully I can use this blog to sort out some quick wins. Ta.

  • Generally the site looks fine on mobile, but since you ask: there have been two recent requests that the Race Times tab (for want of a better description) on our profiles displays how many of each race distance we've done. Thing is, the site does that already on 'tinternet, but doesn't display it on mobile, whether displayed in portrait or landscape. It's the same with the addition you did on the All Races tab for the distance, it only displays on an internet browser. So, it would be good if this detail could also be viewed on tablets & phones (Apple or Android).
    Sigh

  • You can have my A10 mate. Do you know about unlocking? It was on Vodafone, but it's 3 years old and I changed to an A50 6 months ago. It's def out of contract but I don't know how much it costs to unlock. Happy to stick it in a jiffy bag down to you, if any use. It's v small form factor (which I loved cos it fitted better in pocket) but might not be "representative" enough for you.) I'll fmail you further details. :-) G

  • Sh*t, it's not an A10, that explains it!! I've just switched it on. It's an A3. Much older model! Might not be suitable. Don't know why I thought A10. Soz! muppet :-) G

  • HappyG - thank you - you have fmail :-)

    Sigh - thank you for being the one person to get involved with my mobile optimisation challenge :-) The 'race count' column was visible if your landscape view was at least 667 pixels wide (iPhone 6 and above). I've adjusted it now so that it's visible on a 568 pixel landscape (iPhone 5 and above). How's that looking?

  • Thanks Fetch :-) Using my Galaxy S7 - the 'race count' column now displays in landscape mode (but not portrait) - not sure if there's anywhere you can put a little note to tell folks on mobile devices to view it in landscape for that info. No change to the all races (but I didn't expect it as you hadn't mentioned it), if you can apply the same change to that, then perfect.

Calling all Android users

4:56pm, 19 Nov 2019
It's been nagging away at me for a while that there's no Android equivalent to (very basic) iPhone app. It's something I'd like to put right.

I don't currently have an Android phone, which is a bit of a hindrance when it comes to developing apps for one; but I've been looking round and figure I can get hold of a refurb with a PAYG contract, just so I can install my would-be app and do some testing. It's one of those things that I foolishly imagine I will have time for during December, whilst you're all getting involved in the Festive Fetch Calendar.

I also pulled some mobile stats out, to illustrate how the trends in mobile access are going. Of course, these all relate to site access, rather than an app.

In 2013, 77% of all visits to the site were on desktop (incl. laptop access), with 13% from mobiles, and 10% from tablets.

By 2016, desktop access was at 55%, with 30% from mobiles and 15% from tablets.

So far this year, desktop still holds a slender lead with 46%, from mobiles on 43% and tablets falling back to 11%. But overall there's a definite trend towards more mobile use. For Fetch, this means making sure that our pages display and operate nicely on all sorts of screen sizes; and about making sure that what Fetch offers in general is making the most of the tech at the user's disposal.

Apple iOS accounts for 64% of mobile traffic, with Android taking 35%. Windows phones have less than 1%, and there are even a few users still on Blackberry :-)

Amongst Android users, over half (53%) are on Samsung, followed by Huawei (13%), Sony (5%) and Motorola (4.6%). It makes sense for me to try to get hold of a Samsung then :-)

If you've got an Android, and want to give me some encouragement, please upvote feature 131: fetcheveryone.com/featurevoting?sort=id&keyword=131

  • What sort of use is made of the iPhone app that exists? I know I wouldn't use any tracking facilities on a Fetch app, and the website now displays nicely on a mobile browser, so I don't really have any need for an Android app, despite being a heavy android user (Motorola).
    larkim
    5:06pm, 19th Nov 2019
  • Yes yes yes!! And my tablet is also Android - so do you need to add all tho OS stats rather than the device type stats to work out how many are Android vs Apple? Otherwise you're comparing apples with, er, oranges..... ;-)

    And in fact, worth looking to see if the number of mobile devices out there is broken down by corporate vs personal usage - our company insists on Apple iOS because it's got more big name/trusted "security" options off the shelf, whereas the actual number of people with Android vs iOS devices for personal use is nearer 50/50 in my area (an IT Team) and also my wider family.

    And finally - if there was an Android app, I'd use it far more than my laptop, which I only *have* to use because Garmin Ant+ isn't compatible without too much fiddling with a Samsung phone or tablet!

  • Apps, pah! I think you have done a good job of optimising the website for mobile, stick to that.

    Actually, I've just remembered that the Fetch app was a bit something else - do many people actually use it? I'm also surprised that mobile usage is so Apple-centric.

  • im on android (much superior). i did have the app when i was on apple. i agree with Larkim that how you have optimised the site for mobile has made a massive improvement.

    If you need a techy android obsessed student to help/road test during December i can find you a couple (one of whom would love to be able to play WSW but doesnt have a garmin so could only do so if there was an android app!)

  • Offers of phones from various Fetchies - that's very kind of you all to offer, but I'd like to get hold of something that's reasonably recent, so that it will be comfortable running Android 9. It looks like the S5 is capable, but not without some rigmarole. Another dip into the stats suggest that over two thirds of Android users are more-or-less up-to-date with their OS, so it feels like it makes sense to match it.

    Regarding app vs site - just to clear up any confusion, I know (because I've worked towards it over several years now) that the site has made great leaps in how it behaves on mobile screens. I'm really happy about that :-) Considering how pages perform on a multitude of different screen sizes is part of the process these days. When I first started writing code, it was a similar challenge, fighting the differences between IE and Netscape to deliver a good experience for the user. To me, it makes sense now to be part of that Apple/Android tussle, not just making sure that the site performs well on the browsers of both; but in terms of making increasing use of the extra tools that they bring to the party. I don't for a moment think that the website will be surplus to requirements any time soon, but I don't aim to sit and watch whilst other sites make full use of GPS, accelerometer and bluetooth connected devices.

  • You're probably well ahead of this already, but if you are looking at doing multi-platform development the frameworks like Ionic, Angular, etc. etc. are worth investigating - they have saved us an absolute shed load of time over the last few years when we need to develop apps that are supported on IoS, Android & PC

  • You've probably already downloaded and poked around the Android SDK, but just in case, it does come with an emulator, which will let you get going on development and testing. Also, I wouldn't worry too much about getting a (relatively expensive) Samsung specifically - Android is largely Android.

    I've come close to having a go myself at making an Android app for personal Fetchpoint/WSW use, but I'm doing alright at the mo with Google MyMaps - have mirrored my circle and grid on there, and have a relatively easy workflow to import a snapshot of the Fetchpoint markers and plot an intended route. This all shows up on my phone automatically, along with a nice little blue GPS dot, so I can efficiently smite my opponents. If all this was in a nice app (particularly if it coped well with no coverage while out), that would be a splendid Christmas pressie :)

  • Actually the website works really well on my Android phone (Samsung!) I was going to offer you my old Samsung A10 but realise it's probably locked and would cost more to unlock than you just getting a refurb job for 10 quid somewhere). I actually don't like apps because they use up space - e.g. for Bannatynes and Strrroovaar, I just use their website not the app. :-) G

Did your ads disappear?

5:04pm, 18 Nov 2019
I've just adjusted the code so that if you're a voluntary subscriber to Fetch, then you won't get any Google Ads. Previously, becoming a subscriber unlocked the option to turn them off - but I wanted to make sure that the folks who support the site get that nicer experience as a default.

I know some of you said that you didn't mind the ads, but if you're supporting the site, then I really want you to be able to focus on the good stuff.

That's it really :-) Thank you for your support :-) Literally none of us would be here without you :-)

Here's another little update. When viewing a piece of training, look out for the 'Pin Map' link, just above the map. Click it, and the whole map will stick to the top of the page. Leaving you free to scroll through the rest of the data without losing sight of the map.



Thanks to larkim for that feature request.

Oh, you don't know about feature requests? For shame. It's a great way to put forward a suggested improvement to the site, and to vote up other suggestions that you want to see happen. And unlike SOME sites, I actually read them AND try my best to make them happen.

Easier tagging

2:52pm, 13 Nov 2019
I've made an adjustment to help you tag your training entries. When you click in the 'Add tag...' box, it will show you a list of your 100 most-used tags. You can click them to apply them to this bit of training.



Also, from yesterday, here's where you can adjust the category of your training entry without going to the edit page (just click the existing category, and it turns into a dropdown list):

  • That's an interesting question ph. We used to have a Mojometer, back until about 2011. Back then, importing from GPS was a relatively new thing (we introduced it in 2009), so lots of people were still manually adding training, where the option to indicate how you felt was more in-your-face. It still gets used though. I might blog the results later today.

Kit now editable from VIEW

10:30am, 12 Nov 2019
Just a wee blog to follow up from yesterday, and in particular the comments asking for kit to be editable from the 'View Training' page. Now you can :-)

In doing so, I've switched it from a table that had mileages on it, to a set of little rounded-corner boxes with a simple 'name of kit' in it. You can still see all the mileage attached to each piece of kit by going to Training > Kit: fetcheveryone.com/kit.php

I figured that seeing the total mileage for a piece of kit only really becomes important when it's getting high... and the kit page has the option for you to set a mileage reminder.

A step towards betterness? :-)

    What order are they displaying in - can't work it out ? Not alphabetical, not by mileage, not be date added,....., seems quite random, but as we know computers don't do random they do what they're told, so there must be some logic to it.
    I'd prefer it to be alphabetical, same as the kit list, then obvious where to find the piece of kit you're looking for.

    Any news on the option to be able to set different kit as default for different types of training. Such as MTB for cycling-MTB and road bike for cycling-road. Or Brooks Adrenaline for road running and Inov-8 for cross country. It was an early-ish request on the (now mahoosive) list of upgrades.

Working towards tagging

5:30pm, 11 Nov 2019
This is a bit of a usability/coding enthusiasts blog, sorry - but I know you're out there :-)

Some quick training log terminology before we get started:

LIST the page that lists all your training: fetcheveryone.com/training.php
VIEW the page that shows the detail for a specific piece of training
ADD the page that lets you manually add training
EDIT the page that lets you edit any training entry.

I've been trying to inch the training log towards tagging as a way of categorising your training in multiple ways (see mid-October blogs for more). I've made some minor layout changes to ADD to prepare the way for tagging, but no big functional ones yet, and you can't add tags on that page yet.

But a comment on my blog from Fragile Do Not Bend got me thinking. She'd said that she expected to see the ability to add tags on EDIT. But I've put tag editing on VIEW. It's not the only bit of inconsistency. Adding a picture happens on VIEW, as does the option to set your Borg Perceived Effort thingy. Perhaps that's why very few people use it :-)

There's also feature request 58: fetcheveryone.com/featurevoting#feature58 which asks for the ability to edit some aspects of the training entry without having to go into EDIT. It asks for this option to be available from LIST, but the data shows that 59% of the people who arrive at EDIT have come there from VIEW, and 41% have come from LIST.

Do we need EDIT at all? Could we just make some parts of VIEW editable, and thereby collapse it all down?

I looked at what sort of edits people make to existing training entries. I set up a little test, to see which fields get amended.

Out of 2960 amendments, here's what folks are doing:
896 (30%) changing the category.
468 (16%) amending the notes.
264 (9%) amending the hilliness.
238 (8%) amending the surface
198 (7%) amending the temperature

That covers 70% of all the amendments that take place. So perhaps if I can offer some of these on VIEW, then it'll take the emphasis away from EDIT, and make it more reasonable to expect to view your training *and* make amendments to it at the same time. What's more, I think hilliness, surface, temperature, wind, rain etc all collapse nicely into tagging - tackling feature requests like #335, #277, and #65.

I've made a minor amendment to VIEW, so that you can edit your notes directly on the page. If it works out ok, I'll see if I can make other fields editable on VIEW. Let's try a usability test - can you see how to edit your notes? Does it work ok for you?

  • That sounds great. I must be living in the 30%; for runs, I almost always edit the kit (because I have about four pairs of shoes in rotation, so don't use defaults), edit the category about half the time, and often edit the notes. With kit editable in view, I'd probably go into edit once or twice a year.

    Note editing works nicely :)

    I confess I rarely edit at all, and yet I do on the stinky orange site, which I feel really bad about :( But I also wonder why that is*... and I think being able to edit directly from VIEW (and maybe things like kit on LIST as well) might help redress that

    Thinking about it, it's probably because I know people will see my activities in their feed, so I give them more interesting names than "Afternoon run" and perhaps add a little comment in the description for people to read, which sometimes instigates a bit of comment conversation... whereas here, I don't expect anyone but me to ever view my training entries, so I don't generally bother

    11:10pm, 11th Nov 2019
  • That works well (just did first in entry notes edit). But I do 3 things with every entry: category (except running which I often leave at general), notes (always!) and kit (shoes for running only). So I still need to go to Edit for category and kit! However, I find all your innovations pretty usable. Good work! :-) G

    FitterStu
    9:01am, 12th Nov 2019
  • I could live without notes being editable on view, but category is the most important change for me. Making that as simple as possible seems the way to go, even from the LIST would work for me. It still strikes me that overall, more flexibility in searching your log is the way to go. e.g. offering better ranges for distances (whole numbers just means you can't find *only* 10m runs for example, as they could be logged as 9.9 or 10.1, but at the moment you can only find either 10.0 to 11.0 or 9.0 to 10.0), or filtering for multiple categories (e.g. "Easy" or "Recovery", or "Tempo" or "Progressive").
    larkim
    10:56am, 12th Nov 2019
  • I will definitely do the distance filter for you, larkers - but I was giving it a chance to build up a few more yes votes so I can show it off to more people ;-) And I agree about better filtering options. Yet it would work best the more I can get people tagging - hence this way round.

    Merry Christmas and Happy NewG(rrr)
    1:09pm, 12th Nov 2019
  • I quite like tags to a degree, but the formality of having fixed "tags" to apply to every activity via the categories is important too. Though now being able to filter for both makes sense. Thanks for the more nuanced searching, though any good reason why the distance increments need to be in a drop down list rather than free text (validated of course to ensure they are numbers)? One of the down sides of the drop down lists is that they filter automatically on selection - would be preferable to have them only update / refresh when a "show me" button or similar was clicked. Not wanting to sound ungrateful of course!! ;-)
    larkim
    4:56pm, 12th Nov 2019
  • You should see the misspellings of the shoe brands in the kit bag. Free text fields are hilarious ;-)
    fetcheveryone
    5:13pm, 12th Nov 2019
  • I can well imagine! But free text for searching either returns nul or something not desired, so the user can handle that side of things (assuming you were responding to me!). That's one of the problems I have with moving to the "tags" world, as user error allows for a whole heap of unsearchable data. The compromise that is there already (fixed text fields / drop downs for the basics, tags for stuff users want to customise) works OK. But if the fixed text fields generated tags on being saved, so that thereafter you could only filter on tags, you'd end up with a slightly improved compromise. But you'd have to allow for searches on multiple tags (e.g. search "running" AND "tempo" AND "joyful" i.e. the first two come from the drop downs, the final being a tag).
    larkim
    5:19pm, 12th Nov 2019

Manual Add Training bug

4:46pm, 9 Nov 2019
Ey up,

If you've used the manual 'Add Training' page between about 11am and 4.45 today, then you might have experienced a bug. The default month was showing up as January, not November - so it was looking like new training was disappearing into the ether.

The bug has been fixed, but you might want to check your January for extra entries.

Sorry, lovely people. Eggs and omelettes, and all that.
