Allow participation in "Selfie" with Garmin Connect public activities #83

Currently Garmin Bulgaria is one of main sponsors for 5kmrun events, so it will be great if we can avoid requring Strava for participation in "Selfie" runs.

Thanks for the input @pau4o. This is a great suggestion and I really appreciate it. We are currently a team of two devs and we don't have the bandwidth to support another integration - the Strava integration took significant time to be implemented and polished for the past year. I'll be more than happy to onboard a new team member who commits to own a Garmin integration.

@etabakov can you point me where to look about Strava integration (I didn't have any expirence with Dart). After this I can decide where I can manage to do GC integration.

etabakov commented 3 years ago

No worries, this is also my first and only flutter project. strava_resource.dart should be a good starting point. Basically, we need a few things to define the integration:

a way for the 5kmrun application to authenticate against the Garmin APIs and pull user specific data
a way to get the runs for the current week that fall under certain criteria
a way to calculate the fastest 5km in a longer run, e.g. that in a 20km run - what was my fastest 5km split

Happy to provide more info or have a quick call to orient you.

@etabakov Thank you. I'll look around and keep you informed about my progress and decisions.

It turns out that to do such integration one should write library for interacting with Garmin's API first. For now I can't find enough time to do this. @etabakov feel free to close this issue.
