Upload ride poster to Strava by default
Once upon a time Fulgaz used to upload the “poster frame” for a ride by default, whenever syncing to Strava. At some point this got disabled, I think for commercial reasons (Strava charged you for doing so perhaps?). I think that was a false economy - I know of at least three people who started using Fulgaz as a direct result of seeing the poster frame on my rides. Now that you are looking at marketing again, and particularly encouraging people to create screenshots to be uploaded to strava, I think you should consider again always uploading the poster if there is no alternative screenshot available - or at least offering that as an option. Taking screenshots is not always easy, depending on your device setup, and particularly if you are doing a work-out. Also does away with the risk of “leaking” private information such as heart rate etc whilst still creating interest and colour for the ride.
FWIW when the feature was first disabled I contemplated contacting you to see if I could pay extra to get it re-enabled.

Thanks, Paul. This is definitely something that is still on our radar, that’s for sure! From memory I think this was disabled due to some Strava API changes, and also because the images that were being used were low quality thumbnails. We’ve been discussing the optimal way to implement this again in the future. 🙂
