Openswimmer

Openswimmer is a side project (another one) that aims to improve the data visualization and manipulation of my physical measurements.

Currently I use a Polar Vantage M with Polar oh1+ while swimming.

Motivation

While swimming, I don't get correct measurements of my heart rate using just the watch. So I wear the OH1 in standalone mode. The ojbective of the project is to create a way to merge both sessions into a single one: the watch provides gret measurements in terms of meters, SWOLF, and others, but fails (sometimes) with the HR. The OH1+ measure HR great, but no swimming statistics.

I would like to create a site where it could be easy to merge both sessions and upload that data afterwards for better visualization

Technology

The initial idea is to use python world to achieve this:

* Django for the web site to log in with polar and download the raw data of the sessions

* Jupyter to be able to elaborate better on the data

Discussion

UPDATE: No vagrant usage since it's going to make me lose focus from the goal of this project. Special thanks to my good friend Ibai, for bringing me back to the path of the focus and productivity

Currently I'm not 100% sure if I should start with vagrant/ansible or just go directly to the goal of the oject and start with python

Warranties

None, but this aims to be the path I want to follow

Devlog

I started a dedicated weblog to this matter in this capsule, also. I think I'm encapsulating over my possibilities.

Encapsulating too much is overengineer? lol?
