Show HN: Cycling app designed to sync video playback with real-time cycling data (github.com)
4 points by richbl 247 days ago
As the weather here in the Pacific Northwest is getting a big damp, here's an app called BLE Sync Cycle (currently Linux-based) that I wrote that allows me to interactively cycle indoors in front of a big-screen TV/monitor (similar to Zwift or Rouvy).

Additional details on the GitHub site: check out the project wiki (https://github.com/richbl/go-ble-sync-cycle/wiki) and roadmap (https://github.com/users/richbl/projects/4).

One might ask where to get a video that will work with this?

I've been using my own videos, but any good first-person video will work (cycling preferred, but jogging or even first-person automobile videos work well).

Technically, any video that is playable via a media player will work. The project natively uses the mpv media-player (mpv.io), though VLC (VideoLAN) integration is a priority.

For some ideas, query YouTube for "POV cycling" or "first person cycling."
