sal does its job reliably and I’m happy to see the sparkline on runboyrun.ch being updated daily. I find that seriously cool.

About a month ago though, I’ve received an update on the Strava API terms that in short means for sal a Strava subscription becomes mandatory. Strava did an amazing job in providing this API for personnal access free of charge for a long time. It’s fair enough to me that they decide at some point to change that strategy.

I found cool that in this communication there was a redeem code for a 3-month subscription trial. I’ve used it and have until September to see what I’m gonna do with my setup before it starts charging me. I might refactor the entire thing, slightly, to avoid subscription costs. Those are not high, but to keep enjoying a frugal life I have to stay picky about what I subscribe to.
