What about a non-commercial alternative to strava? It's core feature is literally push a button, gps tracking, push a button and stop, then some tagging

OpenTracks, OSM Dashboard, OsmAnd+ worked for basic stuff for me.
This is not ment to be an alternative to Strava, but an addition to Strava. For an alternative I suggest you checkout https://github.com/endurain-project/endurain
Gadgetbridge is working on connectivity that should help connect it to things like Endurain. Thats probably our best bet.
We have Wanderer, which is actually excellent, except it's only for sharing trails, and not activities.
Best I can do is Strava with a one-time purchase instead of a subscription
Okay if all you want is the gps tracking and simple metrics like pace, I could probably knock that out in an afternoon and put it up for free. But IIRC, Strava does a lot more than that. I haven't used it in ages though so not too sure.
A good, no fuss, simple open source GNSS tracker with HR that is compatible with gadget bridge would go a long way. I just want something like a classic casio digital watch that tracks my runs and forwards the raw data for analysis on my phone or a self hosted service.
OpenTracks?
That's not HW, I need the bloody HW to do any actual HR tracking. GNSS without HR is not worth much to me. There are no good HW solutions on the market, they either violate privacy or suck on a functional level.
OpenTracks has integrations with several HR BLE trackers: https://codeberg.org/OpenTracksApp/OpenTracks/src/branch/main/README_TESTED_SENSORS.md
And all of them are limited or require official app alongside of it. I repeat myself; there are no good open source (or just privacy respecting) HW solutions available.
That's simply not true. The Decathlon HRM Band for example connects to virtually everything that can understand a generic HRM over BLE. And limited in what sense? It's either sending a heart rate or not.
It doesn't track with GNSS, I don't run with my phone.
This looks awesome! I'll look into setting this up when I get back into my running habit again.
Looking forward to your feedback :)
Do I need a premium subscription for this?
Nowp, no premium subscription required.
Nope, it bypasses that and gives you many of the strava premium features by just parsing it out of the "raw" data. Most of the strava features are just statistics or hiding basic data calculated from your runs behind a paywall anyway. You can do the calculations yourself, technically.
That's really cool, thanks for the clarification
