Strava

Strava gives every app its own key, and an open-source app can't ship a secret, so you create a free personal key once (about a minute):

1. Go to https://www.strava.com/settings/api and create an application (any name and website).
2. Set Authorization Callback Domain to localhost.
3. In VeloPopuli → Settings → Strava, paste the Client ID and Client Secret and press Connect, then approve in the browser.

Then:

• Rides upload as Virtual Rides with the route map — one click on the summary, or automatically (Settings).
• Segments along a route are timed with a live gap to your best.
• Your activities can be raced as ghosts.

The key and tokens are kept in the system keychain (macOS, Windows) or a file only you can read (Linux).

The Strava connection has not yet been tried against the live service — please report how it goes.
