FitPub - Phase 1 (MVP) Complete! 🎉

Date Completed: November 29, 2025 Status: ✅ All MVP features implemented and functional

Overview

FitPub is a federated fitness tracking platform that integrates with the Fediverse through ActivityPub. Users can upload FIT files from GPS-enabled fitness devices, visualize their activities on interactive maps, and share workouts with followers across Mastodon, Pleroma, and other federated platforms.

What's Been Built

1. Core Fitness Tracking Features ✅

FIT File Processing

  • Binary FIT file parsing using FIT SDK
  • GPS track extraction (lat/lon/elevation)
  • Activity metrics parsing (heart rate, cadence, power, speed)
  • Track simplification using Douglas-Peucker algorithm
  • PostGIS LineString geometry storage
  • Comprehensive test coverage with real FIT files

Activity Management

  • Upload FIT files with drag-and-drop
  • Create/Read/Update/Delete operations
  • Activity metadata (title, description, visibility)
  • Three visibility levels: PUBLIC, FOLLOWERS, PRIVATE
  • Paginated activity lists
  • Activity statistics (distance, duration, pace, elevation)

Map Visualization

  • Interactive Leaflet.js maps
  • OpenStreetMap tile layers
  • GeoJSON track rendering
  • Start/finish markers (green/red)
  • Auto-fit bounds to track
  • Preview maps on timeline cards

What Works

✅ Complete user journey:

  1. Register account
  2. Login with JWT
  3. Upload FIT file
  4. View activity on map
  5. Edit activity details
  6. Set visibility (public/followers/private)
  7. View activities on timeline
  8. Click on user to see their profile
  9. View user's public activities
  10. Edit own profile
  11. Follow/be followed (federation ready)

✅ Federation tested:

  • ActivityPub actor profiles
  • WebFinger discovery
  • Follow requests (inbound)
  • Accept activities
  • Undo/unfollow
  • Remote actor caching

✅ All CRUD operations working:

  • Users (Create, Read, Update)
  • Activities (Create, Read, Update, Delete)
  • Profiles (Read, Update)

Known Limitations (By Design for MVP)

  1. Follower/following counts - UI displays 0 (real counts in Phase 2)
  2. Follow button - Placeholder on public profiles (Phase 2)
  3. Likes & comments - Not implemented (Phase 2)
  4. Notifications - Not implemented (Phase 2)
  5. Avatar upload - URL-based only (file upload in Phase 5)
  6. Outbound federation - Structure ready, not sending Create activities yet (Phase 2)
  7. Settings page - Placeholder with links (Phase 2)
  8. Email/password change - Not implemented (Phase 2)
  9. Advanced charts - HR/pace over time (Phase 2)
  10. Error pages - Using defaults (custom 404/403 in Phase 2)

How to Use

Prerequisites:

  • Java 17+
  • Maven 3.8+
  • PostgreSQL 13+ with PostGIS
  • FIT files from GPS device

Quick Start:

  1. Configure database in application-dev.yml
  2. Run: mvn spring-boot:run
  3. Navigate to: http://localhost:8080
  4. Register account
  5. Upload FIT file
  6. Explore!

Test with Federation:

  1. Add user in WebFinger format: user@localhost:8080
  2. From Mastodon, search for local user
  3. Follow the user
  4. Check followers count (coming in Phase 2)

Next Steps (Phase 2)

The MVP is complete and functional. Moving forward:

Phase 2 priorities:

  • Implement likes and comments
  • Populate follower/following counts with real data
  • Add follow/unfollow buttons on profiles
  • Send Create activities to followers when posting
  • Build notifications system
  • Enhanced charts (HR/pace over time)
  • Custom error pages
  • More complete settings page
