Hello there Product Hunt, 👋 Thanks for checking out Any Distance. I'm incredibly stoked to launch today. It's storytime! Like some, I started a fitness journey since the pandemic started. I bought myself an Apple Watch and have used it every day since to track runs and workouts since I found my rhythm. I was frustrated that there was no simple and beautiful way to share a run that was story first, looked great, and was photo-focused. I was thinking about it like "Unfold for running" at the time. I tweeted out a few ideas for a design that has now been seen 100K times. https://twitter.com/LukesBeard/s... A couple of weeks later I scratched that itch and starting building Any Distance thanks to collaborating with @danielkuntz0, an excellent engineer that has made the whole thing come together. Once in beta we saw runs, rides, walks, hikes, skiing, and snowboarding shares from all over the world. Our beta group truly motivated us and constantly wowed us with their posts. Check out https://www.instagram.com/anydis... to explore for yourself. We added simple goal tracking and super fun collectible achievement medals to lock in 1.0. Here are some fun stats on development: 🧠 74 days since the first idea tweet. 👨🏻‍💻 66 days since the first commit. 🛠 35 builds. 🥇 1800+ beta testers. 🤝 Only hung out in person 3 times. 🎉 Thousands of beautiful activities shared. We chose to build with privacy at the front. Sign in with Apple, the bare minimum user data stored in CloudKit, and any activity data is only cached locally. We have a public Privacy commitment to, https://anydistance.club/privacy.... Lot's more to come but thanks again for checking out Any Distance 1.0! Say hello via luke@anydistance.club

Been using this for a little while, it's helped keep me motivated and taking a photo gives me a moment to pause and take it in - which is appreciated 🙌

Legitimately made me run for the first time since November - Beard's aesthetic out here keeping people healthy.
Rob Hope ⚡️Yo!
Been using it for over a month and it - no question - has motivated me to get out more as I'm chasing new goals set by the app. It's also a DELIGHT to use and polishes up those fairly mundane Strava report big time!

I've been using Any Distance to track my rides. I love that it removes the focus on data and metrics that Strava has most Cyclists obsessing over. Now I just enjoy the ride, because every mile counts towards my yearly goal.
