Roadmap
What’s being built for RowingBuddy, and the ideas after that. Once something ships, it moves to what’s new.
Being built
Under way now. No dates yet: each ships when it’s ready.
- App for iPhone and iPad. Browsers on iPhone and iPad can’t connect to a rower, so RowingBuddy is coming as an app.
- Venice at night. Down the Grand Canal on a warm summer night: lit palazzi, the Rialto and Accademia bridges, the Salute, and out into St Mark’s basin.
- River to the Sea. One long journey downriver in five stages: a mountain stream, a valley village, an old town and the harbour, out to the open sea.
- The Workshop. Short games where your strokes build something, and how well you row shows in what you make. First up: Tower, where steady power builds a straight, tall tower.
Ideas we’re exploring
Not promises: things we’d like to build. Tell us which you’d use most.
- Crew mode. Set the rhythm as stroke seat of an eight, while a cox calls power tens and rate changes.
- Regatta day. Heats, a semi and a final in one session, seeded by your own times.
- Tokyo by night. The Sumida River after dark, with cherry blossom, lanterns, neon and the Skytree.
- More rowers. More FTMS rowers tested on real machines.
- Reasons to come back. Daily challenges, personal-best medals, and racing your friends’ ghosts.
