Futunk is a European alternative for activity tracking, performance insights
and social interaction, founded by a fellow runner. We're privacy-first,
tracking-free and ad-free.
We're a small team. Balancing work on (paid) contracts, training, running
races and social activities all impact the time we can allocate to
developing new features.
Futunk is developed with a minimalist, hands-on approach — prioritising
performance, control, and transparency. Nearly all code and design
elements, including HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, are written in-house without
the use of front-end frameworks or design bootstraps. This approach allows
us to maintain lean, efficient code and a strong understanding of every
component that powers the platform.
That said, we do integrate select third-party libraries and assets where it
enhances functionality or user experience. Wherever possible, these
resources are sourced under free and open software licenses compatible with
both personal and commercial use.
Even though most of these assets are used unmodified — either
delivered via a Content Delivery Network (CDN) or bundled with original
copyright notices — we believe in full transparency and
have provided the following list for reference.
Acknowledgements & Inspiration
While all code is original, certain features are conceptually inspired by
the open-source running community. Notably, our heatmap feature draws
inspiration from projects such as derive, running_page and
especially Strava
Multiple Ride Mapper by Jonathan O'Keeffe.
