Feature
Clubs, group runs and challenges
Sport in Europe is organised around clubs and a standing weekly session. Waypath is built for that rather than for a global follower count.
How it works
Three things a club needs
Start a club
A name, a sport, a picture and the people in it. Open to anyone on Waypath, limited to friends, or invite-only behind an eight-character code.
Put an event on the calendar
A date, a place, a sport and a meeting point, one-off or repeating weekly. Members see who is coming before they leave the house.
Run a challenge
A hundred kilometres in July. Everest by August. Progress counts automatically from members' matching activities and the leaderboard updates itself.
Talking
Group chat, encrypted
Group chat inside a club is end-to-end encrypted: messages are encrypted on the device and the server stores ciphertext only. Attachments are refused unless they arrive encrypted.
The club's own name, place and date are not encrypted, because people have to be able to find it. Sender, recipient and timestamp are not encrypted either. Saying so is more useful than a padlock icon.
Straight answers
Where the line is
- A challenge is not a ranked competition. The leaderboard is built from what each member's own device reports and the server cannot audit it. That is the right tool for a club's summer distance contest and the wrong one for a title.
- Two of each, at a time. Two active clubs, two events and two challenges per person. Waypath is not yet a platform for running a whole season of races.
- Messages are tied to the device that received them. Reinstalling the app loses the history. That is what end-to-end encryption costs when there is no key escrow, and there is none.
