I built ArcPace after a summer of 75 -and-humid runs that felt like running in a sauna, even at an easy pace. The weather app said "nice morning," my heart rate said otherwise... I got tired of doing the mental math on every factor that matters.

It's brought me a lot of joy to build something that makes my life easier, and I'm hoping I can crowdsource more ideas on what people might benefit from!

Curious what wrecks your runs most: heat, dew point, wind, or rain? And is there anything you'd want a forecast to tell you that weather apps don't?

This could be related to your industry, or even a side project you're working on.

Here are my 5 (I couldn't function without them):

1. Grammarly proofreading my texts, not just posts, but also client communication

2. ChatGPT / Claude mostly brainstorming, help with copy, and summarising

3. Figma I can put the basic graphics together quickly.

4. Translator sounds incredibly old-school, but English is not my mother tongue

5. Gmail and not only for communication, but also for storing ideas and sending myself email reminders for posts
