Over the last years Strava focused on social oriented features at the expense of the analytics ones. The social fitness network tends to be more “Stravagram” than “Stravalytics”. The “Elevate” destiny doesn’t match the Strava one.A new solution has to be brought to users. The fix depends actually from Strava, not Elevate. Synchronization became painful for most users 😤 😠 😓 and generated many unsolvable issues on the GitHub project. This is an illustration of the first point.

The web extension durability depends only on this company: it’s not viable! This will change in the desktop app.

The current “Elevate For Strava” chrome extension is completely “welded” to Strava.Why jumping the “Strava & chrome extension” fences to start an independent desktop app project? Want to read this story later? Save it in Journal.
