Dailymile Facebook Timeline App

posted 12 months ago | Report

Hi,

Is there already a way to integrate dailymile with the facebook timeline? If not, I can build something like this on my free time. I'm reaching out in order to gauge support and possible interest in an app like this.

I'm a bike commuter who has been logging miles with DM recently. I think DM is really cool and I want to share (aka brag about) my miles on facebook. The facebook post option is OK, but I don't really want to spam my friends with a flat list of every activity i've completed. I want something that can aggregate all my recent activity and summarize it in a Facebook Timeline story. Timeline stories are fresher and easier on the eyes than facebook posts. They're also carefully managed by Facebook so as not to spam your friends.

Here's an image showing something like what I want to see on my Timeline: https://www.dropbox.com/s/l4qmvfas64ienen/Screen%20Shot%202012-06-02%20at%207.44.39%20AM.png. Perhaps "52 miles in the past two weeks" would show, with the 242 in big blue numbers. Maybe there's a map showing the route of the longest, fastest route i've ran/cycled.

The dailymile timeline app would be a simple two-click integration. One click for facebook access and one click for dailymile access. My Timeline would be regularly and automatically updated with recent DM activity.

I want to build this for myself, as it would encourage me to stay active and would be a neat little project to put in my portfolio. I would also feel better about bragging, because my brags are condensed into one cool-looking summary of activity. Thanks, it would help me to hear some feedback from the community here in regards to this idea.
