These are some thicc glasses.
We're getting close, but saying we're there of "regular" glasses is a stretch.

> Our mission is to understand fitness so you can achieve your athletic dreams. Recently, athletes have been gathering lot of data, but nobody has been able to fully leverage these sources to help people become more fit.
Strava has an entire data scientist dep devoted to analysing the captured data. They also publish a lot of their thinking around Relative Effort (RE) and other performance metrics.
Where do you differ?

Context for those not following running news, The Boston Marathon lowered qualifying times for most prospective runners for 2026 race [0]. Because the Boston Marathon has limited capacity, you can only run if you either:
1) raise $5k+ for a charity (limited spots)
2) run a full marathon below* a qualifying time
The reason it's below* is because even if you run under a qualifying time, there may be enough people even faster than you that fill up the available spots.
This results in some years where you needed to be many minutes faster than the posted qualifying time to guarantee a spot, and every few years, the BAA (group in charge of Boston Marathon) drops the qualifying times.
Note, even though the qualifying times have been dropping, they have been even faster in the past (see the 1980s)[1]
As someone that's done the Boston Marathon a few times, I am glad they are trying to find a good balance of reasonable qualifying times for the most participation without dramatically expanding the field. I'm also always surprised with how popular and well known this marathon is given the NYC marathon (and others) are harder to get into, only about 2 of the miles are actually in Boston [2], and the start/finish are so far away making participating a logistic headache. But that could be what gives it the charm and why I'm now thinking about doing 2026

I can't answer this for everyone, but as someone who has run 5 marathons and is running my 6th in 5 weeks (Frankfurt).
Boston has some kind of mythical status among marathoners. You're _not_ really there until you've qualified for Boston. I do not know where this comes from, but what I do know is that QUALIFYING for Boston as a male (33) is a BHAG that's fun to chase after.
Boston is the 6th of the 6 Abbot Marathon that are considered the "big" 6. New York, London, Chicago, Boston, Berlin and Tokyo. All the others you either win the lottery our you've 4 of the other ones. Nothing you can really do in 6 conseq years.
It's not even the fastest course, but it's the course for those who are "serious" about running as a hobby. Running a marathon isn't enough. Running Boston separates you from the try-hard crowd, with a lack of a better word.

The processing we're starting to do on the standard images on these phones are crazy. I'm always excited for the camera advancements in the phones, but always have to go hunting for an app that does exactly this.
The mobile app on iOS is a 503 with
```
Received a 503 error. Data returned as a String was: <!DOCTYPE html> <!- -
Hello future GitHubber! I bet you're here to remove those nasty inline styles, DRY up these templates and make 'em nice and re-usable, right?
Please, don't. https://github.co...
```
That's where it's cut off on my screen.
Curious what the link is :)
I like to think, someone did.

Surprisingly your the only one who has mentioned Keycloak so far?! I switched several projects from Auth0 to it some time ago and didn't look back... particularly when they started tightening things since said projects were not even profitable.
I'm also surprised with the lack of mention of keycloak. It's been great to work with, and immediately curious how it would compare.

I would love having a backup of my websites from ~1995.
But maybe my memories are more exciting than the plain truth.
One of mine was caught by the wayback-machine, unfortunately before I ever got to add any of the menu or content functionality.

I started when I was 9, using Word as the editor. This was 5 years later and I was 14 at the time), I both wish and am ok with the content no longer being there. At least I can go back humor myself on what I put in the side-navigation.
You'll be able to add custom themes pretty soon. Hopefully within the next couple of weeks.
There's no fallback to the ANSI theme of the terminal as it breaks a lot of Textual's features.
There is a PR open at the moment relating to detecting the terminal background colour I believe, so in the future we could probably use that to choose a reasonable fallback.
Great, appreciate it!
Really like it, so will try it out in my toolkit for a while! Thanks for the great work you have been doing and sharing with the community.
This is great and feels very smooth to use. I really like the UX of it.
Great including themes, but for light mode it's only one. Does Posting/Textual support no theming falling back on the configured terminal that runs it?
