Strava Collage - https://github.com/SerKnight/strava-collage

--------

TODO:

* Move api call into background worker, and create progress loader

* Build out database storage to persist a user's data to allow for additional features

* Create more of a DRY api / client connection. I researched 2 main ruby API wrappers but wanted to connect directly to api to learn how calls were structured.

* Increase query to loop all every activity & its photos ( currently just the first 30 as per api's pagination ), can more easily improve this once main query is processed Async.

* Implement html2Canvas for a 'screenshot' so user can save Collage.. Initial attempt lead down the rabbit hole for displaying images in the screenshot || go database route & add 'Share my Canvas' btn that would enable people to post on Facebook, etc.. 

* add controller / helper specs for api calls, & basic authentication flow via selenium

---- API Discovery & Improvement Notes

* Figure out why activity photos API call only returns the thumbnail size ie * format_image(url) ( https://www.strava.com/api/v3/activities/#{activity_id}/photos )

```

{

	...,

	"urls"=>{"0"=>"https://dgtzuqphqg23d.cloudfront.net/tXmy2F2o3X7WKlu_G2yn-rw5e3DLrjhBFnfdqW55AoQ-64x48.jpg"},

	"sizes"=>{"0"=>[64, 48]},

	...

}

```

* Also the format_image(url) method is a bit hacky and doesn't scale to work with every image.. Can remove the motivational animal photos in lui of broken images once ^ issue is fixed

* Include documentation on Distance Unit size & data storage

	- looked through a few libraries for clue of integer to distance storage..

	- ended up taking a few ratios from float -> miles via my personal data.

	- averages to about 1/1610, so using that ratio do display mileage for each card

```

	42704.8	/ 26.53	=> 1609.679

	19388.7	/ 12.04 => 1610.357143

	10266.8	/ 6.38 => 1609.21

	9232.8	/ 5.73 => 1611.3

```

**I did end up finding that distance is defined as being stored in Meters for a lot of the other Objects in the API, hence ( 1609.34 in one mile haha..)**

* Include documentation on moving_time Unit size & Data storage

**Also found elapsed_time integer	is 'The  Lap's elapsed time, in seconds**
