I was unhappy with Strava's lack of configurable, recurring notifications, so I decided to build a self-hosted solution on top of their API. This is a Golang program that serves as a command-line interface and daemon, meaning you can query Strava data in real-time from your terminal or self-host a daemon that will send you recurring notifications over Telegram.

I was looking for daily, weekly, and monthly notification options. This program supports the following:

* Configurable daily, weekly and monthly schedules for stats notifications (mileage, splits, % in zones, etc.) via a Telegram bot.
* Custom Telegram bot commands for fetching data in-app.
* *Rolling*, *not weekly* stats aggregation.
* Week-over-week and month-over-month statistical comparisons.
* JSON output in the terminal for piping with \`jq\` and other scripting uses.

In order to use this program, you'll need to build the binary from the repo on your own, set up a Strava API account, and set up Telegram bot. Basic instructions are included in the repo's readme. Furthermore, in order to take full advantage of the daemon, you'll likely need to self-host it on a cheap VPS like Digital Ocean or local home server (e.g. Raspberry Pi). While it can be run from your local machine (using systemd or launchd for example), you'll be fighting with your OS's sleep cadence.

I encourage folks to fork or contribute to this project in order to extend its capabilities.
