Hi, wow, a long way into getting to compliment you on the Backfire app. I'm a new esk8 user with a new Backfire board. No coding for me other than html and such. i joined Github just to talk to you. Seems like you've moved on from this project, but it's so close! Here's my thoughts:
-Cumulative data field (like Ride app) total data compiled is awesome and encourages apps use.
-export to Goggle Earth, so cool. Garmin exports .gpx format, would be a viral feature, everyone would share their rides!

  • you've got the BEST mapping.
  • be nice to have the mapping screen go full screen.
  • need a cool UI main screen. (although minor)
  • large display of speed. (LARGE DIGITS) This would allow the user to mount the iPhone on the board and look down for a 'dashboard' speedometer
  • crashes on zero data rides when retrieving
  • most importantly: seems to randomly disconnect when phone in pocket. Is it because the iPhone sleeps or something? I'm trying to allow 'always allow' on the location. Hoping that will fix. Pretty much useless if it shuts off randomly. Any fix?
  • rename it to avoid the stupid official app by Backfire

Just wanted to compliment you on this. Really cool. I wish I could code just to continue the project! ..seriously considering looking into how... you're inspiring.
