I highly recommend tom7's YouTube channel https://www.youtube.com/suckerpinch

His videos are ambitious, nerdy/technical, and really funny.

He also appears immensely intelligent, motivated and kind, which makes for great content. I'm glad I discovered his channel here in the past.
I'm actually a bit jealous of his intelligence, motivation, creativity, and personality. Maybe letting go of that jealousy could be a good first step toward becoming a bit more like him, even if just a little :)

Seriously though, for me, it's like Christmas when he releases a new video.

It’s one of the few channels that I’m glad doesn’t release more than one or two videos per year. When a new one comes out, you know it’s going to be extremely high quality. It’s clear he puts a lot of effort into them; every video is such a treat.

Nice project, I really like it. I have tried to upload my runs, but it didnt recognize lot of streets, I have runned through.

If I focus on missing section it seems that my recorded GPS track is few meters in the building and even no street is near wanderer just does not count it and it is missing ability to edit in map. I cant even edit the GPS in 3rd party app and upload as it is missing the upload ability and wants to be synced only via Strava. I am using Strava just as the middleware to upload GPX files to wanderer as I didnt find other way...
