Extending Intervals.icu

This post pulls together all the ways you can extend Intervals.icu. Some require a little Javascript knowledge and others just picking a value from a drop down.

Intervals.icu also has an API.

Is there any documentation regarding the custom javascript functionality?

There´s no ´custom´ JS, it´s just JavaScript.
The above posts show which data from Intervals can be obtained to use in your scripts.

This also seems a good opportunity to perhaps highlight/signpost that there are other apps/tools that have been developed by Intervals supporters/“Forumites” that use Intervals’ API to add extra value & features to Intervals. New users or those who are not such regular visitors to the Forum are perhaps missing the occasional references to them & so are losing the opporunity to try them out. I am thinking of apps like AlphaHRV, ImReady, Apps in Excel, Tp2intervals, Next Activity_icu, Multi-week Training Plan Creator (Intertools). There are probably more than I am unaware of that need a mention in a Reply to this post or @david 's.

With all the issues with Strava & talk in Forum posts of trying to make Intervals (& its “ecosystem” perhaps) into a one stop shop almost, then in addition to the extras that @David has mentioned, the combining of Intervals with these apps can offer most of the features of the better known platforms & a few that they perhaps do not offer.

So could there be a pinned post or a section within Guides where integrated apps could be listed. Then either a guide to using them could be developed (though quite a bit of work perhaps) or otherwise people could use the search function to find previous posts that will explain how to use them. But without such overt signposting there is a risk that they will not know look for them. I must confess that I tend to forget to click on “All Categories” to check for new posts as they are less frequent than with the other categories. So could the Guides be lifted out & into the list above perhaps? Or alternatively the default landing page when clicking on the Forum button perhaps be Categories - Intervals.icu Forum where they are not collapsed?

I missed off Subintervals off my previous list of tools that add value to Intervals. Apologies @Inakiarroyo

There’s more apps on the /SETTINGS page that you didn’t list out.

Yes there are but hopefully users already can see them easily when setting up their account & so choose investigate further them already. It is more those flying under the radar & not commercially orientated that i was looking to highlight & ideally have better signposted for Intervals users.
