Marcel-Jan··on Ask HN: Most interesting tech you built for just yourself?
In summer about 5 times a week or more. In weekends I do longer rides. In winter I try to go out whenever it's light outside in the afternoon and it's not raining or freezing. So in winter weeks I do 150-250 km per week. Depending on the weather. In summer weeks it's more like 200-400 km a week.

I created a cycling statistics dashboard on a Raspberry Pi with a Pimoroni Inky Impressions e-ink display.

It's on my desk. And every hour it refreshes my cycling stats, reminding me that a) Wow! I build a cool thing that actually works and b) I did ride a lot on my racing bike, didn't I? / It's about time to go outside and ride some more. https://github.com/Marcel-Jan/StravaInky

I've written a couple of blogposts on how I build it: https://marcel-jan.eu/datablog/2022/12/12/strava-dashboard-o...
