I'm the founder of https://ayvri.com - is it safe to say you're a user?

Hang glider and paraglider pilot here. Surprised to see paramotoring being brought up on HN. Even more surprised to see the founder of ayvri posting in the same thread! And yes, I'm a user, though not OP :p

I've been hang-gliding and paragliding only once. But the platform was obviously adopted by the paragliding community.

One of those interesting stories where we were working on the tech, not realizing that paragliders would be a user (and knowing nothing about paragliding at the time).

Not actually a user; I've mostly kept tech and flying separate so far. I'll take a look though!

Don't you upload your tracks to something like xcontest or similar to analyse your flights?

Rarely? When I'm on a trip (Colombia, Macedonia, Valle) I'll do so over beers to chat things over with other pilots; when it's more casual or local flying, I'm doing it for the experience and the joy, not the retrospective analysis.
