Development request to incorporate Strava

We had an email from another user recently for Strava support as well. Their name was David too, but from a different email address. I'm not sure if that was you or not.. but I'll respond to them and let them know about this post.

Here's the response I made to that general question:

We are evaluating multiple other social networks for integration in the future. Unfortunately Strava is not on our current investigation list as it’s a lot more niche-y than we’re looking for. A product for pulling activities data for a user would be a much more specialized product and more difficult to integrate into JFBConnect than one of the more standard “social networks” that we currently support, or will be soon.

As for Strava, I honestly hadn't heard of it before that request. I did a little research, but not enough to know as much as I'm sure you do. If you can give me any more information on:
a) What you'd use it for on your site
b) What features it has that would be neat for general integration
c) Any features that are similar to what is already in JFBConnect (single sign-on, 'widgets', social stream abilities, etc)
d) Anything else really neat you like about Strava
Any of that information will help us understand better how it could be used, and why we should work on that development. There are tons of 'secondary' social networks after the primary ones we've already integrated. Github is a prime example as a niche network that we're willing to incorporate into JFBConnect. If you can provide good information on how it would be a good fit.. especially with c) above, where it's similar to what we already have (which makes development easier and also doesn't take us off on some weird development course), you *may* be able to convince us.

There's no guarantees though, and we have a bit on our plates right now, but we're always listening.

Of course, if anyone else reads this, and has interest, let us know!

Thanks,
Alex
