Building apps that turn data into something useful. Sheet Dash (spreadsheets → dashboards) & StrideSync (Strava → Sheets).

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

The moment that convinced me this was worth building:

I pasted my revenue spreadsheet URL and 3 seconds later had this on my phone.

No login. No API key. No setup.

Just a URL → dashboard.

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

Hot take: spreadsheets are amazing for storing data and terrible for reading data.

Especially on mobile.

Building something to fix this. More soon.

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

@4n455 Provide value and make them remember you for it I guess. Frequency never hurts either

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

Working on something.

What if your spreadsheet data looked like this on your phone instead of... a spreadsheet?

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

Google Sheets on my phone is genuinely painful.

Tiny cells. Horizontal scrolling. Pinch to zoom just to read one number.

I check my revenue spreadsheet every morning and it takes 3 minutes of scrolling to find what I need.

There has to be a better way.

@matt_ambrogi That’s nice to hear mate!

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

@matt_ambrogi i Hi! Did Strava shut down your app? I have a small app that syncs Strava to Google Sheets and was just about to add some AI features, but now I’m scared it’ll get shut down too.

Customer #7 and #8 within 5 minutes.
Also just learned Stripe has native push notifications 😂

@itsnotsorry We are here mate!

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

@victor_bigfield @marclou Wow, very cool! How’s the process when getting a request?

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

@_agarner Congrats mate!

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

@FinnBuilds @IAmAaronWill 100% mate!

I don’t believe “there are already too many apps” is a real argument.
I do believe “no clear audience” is.

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

Its Sunday and I started on a new app idea

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

Strava is clearly dominant, but it feels like a product many of us love and work around.

What feels missing or frustrating?
What data do you want but can’t easily get?
What would make you consider switching?

Asking as a runner who likes building things.

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

weird how an external public dashboard gives motivation. thanks @marclou

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

6 paying users isn’t a startup.
But it is 6 runners who cared enough about their data to pay for it.
That’s enough to know this solves a real problem.

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

Zapier worked fine for Strava → Sheets.

Until I wanted all my data, not just the last 10 activities.

That’s when StrideSync happened.

[Magnus Bomann @MKBomann]

yall feeling 5.2?

Posting on LinkedIn feels weirdly personal compared to X. Honestly… I’d rather just live here.
