Field notes
Examples include Turbo Kaiju, Turbo Sheepdog, Thin Air, and Turbo Channel Swim, alongside road, climb, cyclocross, and biathlon modes. The signup questionnaire collects rider age, equipment, sensors, indoor frequency, device, current spend, and preferred game; the project says answers help decide what to build next. It also advertises offline use and Strava/Garmin exports, though the invite gate prevents judging those features here.
