Five years ago I started building this app and never finished it. The idea was straightforward — connect to Strava, pick a route, turn it into a print you’d actually hang on your wall. I got the front end looking okay and then hit a wall with the back end. Generating images on the server, connecting it to a fulfilment API, handling the full order flow — it was beyond where my engineering skills were at the time, so I shelved it. Last autumn I started properly exploring AI coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Gemini — and somewhere in the middle of that I thought I’d try again. I’m now ready to launch mappa.me, the next evolution of SportsChord! You connect your Strava account, pick an activity — a run, a ride, anything that meant something — and Mappa turns it into a custom print. You can personalise colours, style and size, then order it. Fulfilment is automated end to end. I didn’t write a single line of code for this app myself. Five years of getting stuck in React and Stack Overflow rabbit holes seems to have mostly taught me how to ask better questions — I just didn’t have the right tools to get the answers back then. I’d love to get some feedback from any cycling, running or athletes on here — UX, designs, anything that feels off or missing. If you’re up for it, DM me and I’ll send a free print code to the first 5 people in return for honest thoughts. I’ll share more over the next few weeks on the build — the AI side, the design decisions, and what I’d do differently next time.
