Pulse-O-Meter - Your ultimate training diary » Release http://blog.pulse-o-meter.com Wed, 19 May 2010 11:43:47 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 en hourly 1 New features in Pulse-O-Meter http://blog.pulse-o-meter.com/2010/05/19/new-features-in-pulse-o-meter-5/ http://blog.pulse-o-meter.com/2010/05/19/new-features-in-pulse-o-meter-5/#comments Wed, 19 May 2010 11:43:47 +0000 ote http://blog.pulse-o-meter.com/?p=237 We have been busy working on these new amazing features :

What’s awesome?
  • Desktop tab. We are getting close to the release of v1.0 of the Mac Desktop version. Today we are unveiling the desktop tab on the homepage. There you can download the newest trial and read about the amazing features, that we have integrated in the desktop version.
  • New GPX Import. For all of you who just have a GPS enabled device or use Android apps to track their trainings we offer a new GPX import. Pulse-O-Meter will create a training for you and insert the information available in the file in your training (like speed, distance and of course the map).
  • On multiple request we changed the way you can add and edit your workout types. You can now edit them directly and even mark one of your workout types as default.
  • Equipment alert. We noticed that one of our nicest features – to track and get alerted about the wear and tear of your equipment – is only used occasionally so we decided to highlight the alert tab on the overview screen. For the alerts to be shown you have to enter the alert thresholds in the equipment settings.
  • Tell a friend. If you want to spread the word about Pulse-O-Meter you can do so directly from the overview tab. There you will find the “tell a friend” flap which allows you to send an email to your fellow athletes.
What’s fixed?
  • We added form validation to some of the public pages, like forgot password an registration.
  • As always, we fixed some minor things on the design, backend and browser specific stuff.\

That’s it for the moment. Send us all thoughts, ideas, question you should have via the all new feedback widget.

You can download the data directly from your heart-rate monitor to www.Pulse-O-Meter.com as we integrated the Garmin browser plugin.

Just connect your device via USB, start the import, choose the trainings you want to receive and a few seconds later you can start analyzing your trainings. The plugin is available for Windows and Mac browsers (download here). Please contact us if you encounter any problem using this feature.

After 3 months and 28 days work we are now live!
We were quite surprised that the time we needed to come to this point was “just” 4 months (3 months and 28 days to be precise). It seemed like at least double the time but this maybe due to the intense time that we had.
We want to thank everybody who was involved in the last weeks and months:

  • Dirk M. for helping us at the beginning with our (pardon my) stupid questions and for his help whenever we had trouble with the development. He also helped amazing during the test phase.
  • Thijs for the coding sessions until morning and his help during the startup phase.
  • Marleen for the proof-reading of the texts (eventhough it might be still too nerdy)
  • Vera for the texts and the deciding vote on the designs.
  • Eva for the huge amount of design work and for the amazing layouts, that left Bernd and me always astonished.
  • The Brownies in Cologne for hosting hundreds of our meetings and providing us with Wi-Fi, food and drinks .

These last months were pretty intense, but it was worth every second.
So if you are a serious athlete and are as frustrated as we were 4 months ago with the insufficient solutions to manage your training data you should sign up at Pulse-O-Meter.
We will now continue adding new features and finish the companion Mac desktop application and the iPhone application to provide our users with the ultimate training diary.

Bernd and Rafael

The biggest change is a volume-indicator for SonicLink imports, which will solve most of the users import problems. The second new feature is a progress indicator that displays the progress if you import a directory that contains many files. I also implemented some performance improvements as I underestimated how long it takes to parse dozens of XML-Files every time pulse-o-meter starts.

This version of pulse-o-meter supports the import of HRM-data that contains altitude and speed information like the Polar S710.

The altitude is shown in the pulse-graph as blue line. The other information is stored but not displayed at the moment.
