@north0fnorth You heard of the WalkNYC app?

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@mornings0da No worries at all most of the features like the most were from unsolicited requests!! Yup, one of my friends asked about this too. I have it on the TODO list but I'm gonna bump it up closer to the top for ya :)

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

I made a thing! https://t.co/KQGGuwTfp8

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@loud_socialist That's amazing congrats!! Only downside of it getting more popular is I'm down below 100 now.

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@mornings0da Favorite walks is a good idea too!!

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@mornings0da But I haven’t heard of anyone saying it’s slow with the unwalked blocks setting on so I’ll make note to persist the setting even if the app is quit.

@Benso_mcallist @brttbmn Coursicle?

@norabird @AsadFromNYC I spent months fine tuning the battery usage for WalkNYC and it’s very good at not counting blocks while on a subway (still working on slow moving bus), so you should give it a try to see if it works better for you!

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@AsadFromNYC @super180s Currently working on adding achievements, like walk every bridge, park, NYPL. Was hoping to pair each with a fun fact (my favorite from Ric Burns' NYC doc: when the Brooklyn bridge was built, it was the tallest structure in North America)! I imagine you have some fantastic ones!

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@AsadFromNYC @super180s Thank you so much, Asad! That warms my heart to hear. I love this city so much and WalkNYC is my little love letter to it.

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@super180s @AsadFromNYC I'm pretty crazy about privacy so I made sure all location data stays on device, the only thing that gets sent to the server is what you see on the leaderboard (e.g. the number of blocks walked, the server doesn't see which blocks they are just the count)!

[Asad🗽🍎 @AsadFromNYC]

What you discover when you take absurdly long walks through NYC:

"There’s even a new app called WalkNYC that allows New Yorkers to track each block they’ve ever walked in the city." https://t.co/MOkgYFXhAG

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@naturesav lol yeah i'm not looking forward to my east-west days in Manhattan

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@DANsplained0 This is cool! Often what I'm thinking in my head anyway. Have you seen the app I made recently, WalkNYC? https://t.co/nFvWdxvD14

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@jenneration_yu @WalkNYCApp No worries! So was it just a little laggy to update the block count? Were you looking at the progress bar at the bottom or somewhere else?

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@jenneration_yu @WalkNYCApp Hm, are you walking in a borough that you have selected as your goal in the settings of the app?

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@jonathanallen44 @samsheffer Ahh! Thank you! Yeah that was a fun little thing to make!

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@_country_accent Ah, interesting. Now I see it, thanks!

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@jonathanallen44 @samsheffer Also what swiping animation are you referring to exactly?

[Joe Puccio @joepucc_io]

@jonathanallen44 @samsheffer I'm with you there! Working on "achievements" now, like walking every bridge, visiting all the parks/museums, that kind of thing. I think I could do neighborhood based stuff too, just need to define some bounds (hopefully that won't step on too many toes).
