In my spare time over the last few weeks I've created a simple "rpg" type game that syncs with your FitBit data allowing you to complete "quests" using your steps (and optionally eventually floors). I'm a programmer, so it's heavily text based and needs a lot more work. :) After a few short introductory quests, the story starts to pick up (I've completed the first 7 quests only at this point). Any feedback is welcome. Thanks!
Neat concept - but the intro page there is a hard stop for me. You need to convince people why they should log in via your site, screenshots, overviews, etc.
Right now, it looks like a very bad way to harvest logins. (IMO)
Thank you for the feedback! Yes and good point, it dawned on me after I posted this that the intro page has basically only served as a placeholder during my development. I'll fix that!
I used to use FitBit devices until I realized they were all dying right outside of warranty, and the company started drawing a hard line on warranty service. I switched to Withings.
Google Fit would probably be the smartest choice, because it has support for different hardware vendors. For example, Withings has Google Fit integration so you'd get their range for free.
Thank you everyone very much for the great feedback! :) I'm going to take the game offline for a couple days to fix some of the issues. I'll post here when it's back up.
