Ok I get from a company and business perspective why you would want to move away from BTWB. It is one less platform to manage, and you save money by not giving a part of the subscription to a 3rd party vendor and hosting yourself. You say your trying to “Open Source” the platform which is nice but it does take away from the community aspect that BTWB provides. The workout tracking was a nice touch and convenience but I track my workouts elsewhere so thats not a big deal. I kept coming back to BTWB for the community and accountability. I was able to share my wins and losses with other like minded folks in an exclusive platform which motivated me to work harder to get the workouts done. The Tribe does not need BTWB necessarily, but we do need a place where we can be a Tribe. I plan to stick with GORUCK because at the end of the day I know they will find a way to make it work so it doesn’t suck.
