About
The beginning...
Firstly, thanks for using BADGES.RUN! I somewhat stumbled upon the idea of creating an app that would add additional 'archievements' for Strava.
I've been a runner for a few years and I've always enjoyed the gamification of running. I've used Strava for a while and I've always enjoyed the challenges that they provide. I wanted to create a way to add more challenges in the form of badges to Strava and BADGES.RUN was born.
How it works...
When you post an Activity to Strava, BADGES.RUN will check to see if you have earned any badges. If you have, it will automatically add them to your Strava activity. You can then share your activity with your friends and show off your new badges!
There's also a levelling system so you can see how many badges you have earned and how many more you need to earn to reach the next level. The more badges you earn, the higher your level will be.
About the developer
My name is Dan and I'm a software engineer from Manchester, England. I've been running now for a few years, casually at first but now I'm a bit more serious about it, and training for marathons and 10k races.
I've created a few little apps and websites over the years, with some being more successful than others. I've always enjoyed the challenge of creating something new and I'm always looking for new ideas.
