WO?! — What's new

15:00 FIX

Distance & pace on the map are correct now

The route widget showed 0 km and no pace on live posts — your GPS spot was placed on the map but never measured along the route. It now reads your real distance & pace.
Location comes from the photo first. If the photo has GPS (where the moment happened), that's used; otherwise we fall back to your phone's current GPS. The photo's GPS is read before resizing so it isn't lost.

14:00 FIX

Post button works again — no more location freeze

Tapping Post could hang for ~10s and then pop a confusing "No location available" box on every post — it waited for a live GPS fix that, on mobile data or with location off, never came.
Posting no longer waits for location. If your GPS fix is ready it still lands on the map; if not, the post just goes out without the map — instantly, no pop-up.

14:00 NEW

Sign-up now fits runners, supporters & other crews

Running or cheering? Sign-up now asks straight away, so a runner from another team isn't quietly filed as a supporter.
Pick your crew: runners can join an existing crew right at sign-up (or later from the dashboard) — no admin needed.
Supporters can claim too: the avatar wall now also works for supporters, showing the supporter avatars that nobody has claimed yet.

10:00 NEW

Final route locked in — Ljubljana → Zadar, 398 km

The GPX route has been replaced with the final ARC route. The total distance is now 398 km (was 424), and the route map on your posts, the live board and the event page all follow the new track.
Everywhere a distance shows — posts, the runner board, the dashboard and the event page — now counts up to 398 km.

18:30 FIX

Runner picker no longer errors, now grouped by crew + pick your avatar at sign-up

Fixed the intermittent "Error: HTTP 500" on the "Which runners are in the photo?" step. It was a race while the avatar worker was busy in the background; the page now loads reliably.
Runners are grouped by crew on the picker — each crew gets a heading (with its colour), and anyone not in a crew falls under "Other".
Pick your avatar when you sign up: if your avatar is already on the wall you can tap it to claim it, instead of always generating a new one. Making one from a selfie and skipping both still work.

09:00 NEW

More share looks: Stickers, Feed post & Square

Stickers (transparent, no map) — a new transparent overlay with all your comments and badges (logo, runner chips, your message) but without the GPX route map. The route map only makes sense while runners are actually en route during the event, so this look is the everyday sticker pack to drop straight onto your own Instagram story.
Feed post (4:5) — a permanent grid-ready version, not just a 24-hour story.
Square (1:1) — fits WhatsApp, Facebook and link previews.
The share carousel now has eight looks to swipe through.
The GPX route map no longer shows before the event starts — it only makes sense while runners are en route, so before the start every post falls back to the countdown card instead.

16:40 FIX

Strava: brand attribution & data controls

Run activities now show "Powered by Strava" and a "View on Strava" link on each run, and the connect button uses Strava's branding — in line with the Strava API Agreement.
You can disconnect Strava from your Dashboard; doing so deletes your synced runs from OutRun. We also handle Strava's deauthorization signal so data is removed automatically when you revoke access.

16:00 NEW

Run activities on the event board — for everyone

The crew's Strava runs now show on the Event page, visible to everyone — tap the "EuroTrip — crew progress" card on your Dashboard to open it. Each connected runner appears with their runs, distance, pace and time.
The feed refreshes itself in the background, so it stays current without anyone tapping refresh.

15:10 NEW

Run activities dashboard (Strava)

New admin page (menu → 🏃 Run activities) showing every connected runner's runs from Strava — per-runner totals (runs, distance, moving time) plus each activity with date, distance, pace and duration, sorted by who's logged the most kilometres.
Pick the window: last week / 2 weeks / 30 / 90 days, or "From EuroTrip start" (once the event begins). Tap Refresh from Strava to pull the latest.

13:30 FIX

Fixed pages sometimes loading with no styling

Fixed the bug where a page (e.g. Home) could open as plain, unstyled text. The app now serves its styles and code from the on-device cache instantly and refreshes them in the background, so a brief network hiccup can never leave a page unstyled.
The core look (shared styles + scripts) is now pre-cached, so even the first open after an update stays styled.

11:00 FIX

Fixed: camera, photo upload & the "Next" button on the post maker

Fixed the bug where choosing a photo did nothing (and threw a "Can't find variable" error) — caused by an outdated cached script being mixed with a newer one. Picking a photo from the camera or gallery now works, and the "Next: runners" button enables as soon as a photo is selected.
The app no longer freezes on a slow connection: pages and their code fall back to the cached copy after a moment instead of waiting on the network, so buttons stay responsive — and a stale cached script can no longer break the page.
The sign-up "Next" button can't get stuck on "Checking…" anymore — if the name check is slow it times out and lets you continue. Picking an iPhone (HEIC) photo also shows a "Processing…" message right away instead of looking dead.

08:30 NEW

Assign runners to crews + crew logos

Admins can now assign anyone to a crew straight from the Users page (with their avatar shown), and runners can join their own crew from their dashboard. Admins can also upload a logo per crew on the Manage teams page - it shows up on the event board next to the crew name.

08:13 FIX

Fixed posts failing to render

Fixed a bug introduced with the share carousel where the photo composer could crash before writing your post. Uploads render reliably again.

08:13 NEW

Two more share looks: Clean & Black-and-white

The share carousel now has five story looks to swipe through: everyone-in-frame, zoomed-in, a brand-new Clean look (just your photo + the WO?! logo, nothing else), a Black-and-white film look (mono photo with the colour overlays kept), and the transparent overlay-only PNG.

07:55 NEW

Share carousel on the result page

After your post renders you now swipe through three story-format looks - everyone-in-frame, zoomed-in, and a transparent overlay-only PNG - and tap Share This to send it straight to Instagram, WhatsApp or Messages. No more download buttons (they were unreliable on iPhone); sharing uses your phone's native share sheet.

07:40 NEW

Admin event settings — all in-app

Built for running the event from the road.

New /settings (admin): tune WO?!-Real moments & reveal time, the event start/route, and rewards — no file editing
Enter Strava keys in-app too. Changes apply live and survive deploys (saved to the data volume, not the committed config)

07:29 NEW

Three ways to download your post

On the result screen: Story (centred + fade), Instagram Post (4:5, photo zoomed in), or Overlay-only (transparent PNG)
All three are rendered from the same cartoon — no extra wait or cost

07:22 NEW

WO?!-Real countdowns

WO?!-Real now counts down to set moments through the event — live on your dashboard, with a Notify-me option
It's a surprise: revealed to everyone at 6 AM on event day; runners get a preview before that
Admins and runners can kick off a WO?!-Real moment (5-minute window)

07:02 FIX

Cleaner menu + Strava-based crew kilometres

The menu is grouped into short sections (Explore / You / Admin) — much easier to scan
Team setup is now just crews + their runners; kilometres come from each runner's Strava and only show once they connect it

06:44 FIX

Camera step tidy-up

Removed the photo preview on the camera step — it added no value
Supporters are now also asked for their device location, like runners

06:23 NEW

New camera flow — snap, pick your crew, post

The post maker is now a clean 3-step flow.

Step 1 opens the camera, step 2 pick who's in the photo, step 3 add a message & post
Supporters get just those 3 steps; runners also get a quick icon picker for the post type
Consistent naming + a camera button throughout

06:08 NEW

Manage your crews + a tighter, consistent app

New: Manage Teams (admin) — add crews, assign runners, set km/pace right in the app (no JSON editing)
Same width on every page now — no more layout jumps when you navigate
Your avatar is the menu button on every screen — consistent navigation

23:39 NEW

Live race map, Strava-ready, a slicker app

The EuroTrip event now feels alive — and the whole app got more uniform.

Live race map: watch the 3 Antwerp crews race the real route to Zadar
Supporter kilometres can sync from Strava — connect on your dashboard (rolling out soon)
Smoother & more uniform: sticky bottom nav, count-up stats, subtle animations, consistent dark styling everywhere
Privacy-first visitor insights for admins — no cookies, no consent banner
Your name now works across devices — no more 'signed in on another device'

23:17 NEW

One OutRun look + the EuroTrip event board

The whole app now shares the OutRun style, and the event has a proper home.

New Event page: 3 Antwerp crews (WO?!, ARC/DC, Bearly Running) with live km, pace and runners
Rewards now rank supporters by the kilometres they run during the event
Consistent width + bottom nav across the app — no more layout jumps
Sign-up is one step: confirm your name and you're in
Training dashboard with Strava analysis — coming soon

22:38 NEW

OutRun is your new home

Sign-up and your home base are now OutRun; WO?! is the EuroTrip event you step into.

New OutRun home with your avatar, the WO?!-Real countdown and the live EuroTrip card
My Rewards: a supporter leaderboard — top 3 win the OutRun × WO?! giveaway
My Dashboard: your posts, WO?!-Real moments and crew progress at a glance
The whole app is now in English

20:03 NEW

Powered by outrunworld.com

WO?! is now the launch chapter of the OutRun platform.

A subtle 'powered by outrunworld.com' badge now appears on the welcome screen.
A new OutRun landing page introduces the platform behind the app.

08:49 NEW

Instagram approval queue

Generated posts now go through an approval step before they land on Instagram.

An admin approves or rejects each post before publication.
Safe by default: dry-run — nothing is actually posted until the live switch is on.
Managed from the ⚙️ Admin panel: preview, caption, and approve / reject / post.

01:00 NEW

📸 WO-Real — timed dual photo

A BeReal moment for the trip. At a scheduled time, everyone with the app gets a notification and a few minutes to take a photo with both the front and back camera.

Countdown to the next WO-Real moment, and a live window once it starts.
A background scheduler on the server checks the scheduled moments every minute and sends the push notification automatically.
Admins can start a moment on the spot.

🏃 Who's running now

Runners set themselves "on" when it's their turn. Supporters see who's running — along with the distance, calculated from the last shared location.

Runners switch themselves on/off on the page.
Distance derived from the furthest GPS location reached along the route (total ± 423.6 km).
Only visible to supporters once the race has started.

⬇️ Install + notifications

A step-by-step guide to adding the app to your home screen — separate for iPhone (Safari) and Android (Chrome) — and to turning on push notifications for WO-Real.

Separate instructions per device, with status chips for "installed" and "notifications".
Web Push set up with VAPID keys; a test-notification button to check it.

the install guide

01:05 REFINED

✨ UI polish across the whole app

Buttons the same size and touch-friendly everywhere, with hover, pressed, and disabled states.
Text links in the house style (gold → coral) instead of browser blue.
A neat focus ring for keyboard users; the grey tap flash on mobile is gone.

00:43 FIX

🖼 Nicer photo cartoons

Faces stay visible behind the speech bubbles.
Story format: cartoon in a letterbox over a blurred background instead of cropping the sides.
Instagram safe margins respected; the speech bubble is placed neatly without overlap.

00:07 FIX

📷 Friendlier upload

Clearer text, an explanation of why the send button is disabled, and what your location is used for.
Transparent mode + cartoon gating; live GPX by default; a fresh sender per post.
