Strava Upload – A Library For Synchronization of Strava Activities and Other Services (Suunto Movescount, etc.)

Overview

Strava Upload is s simple library that  synchronizes moves (activities) with Strava. In the first version it supports moves from Suunto Movescount (a generic move/activity class is planned to support other services). If the activity is found on Strava, it tries to update its description. If not, a new activity is being created.
