July updates
MyFitnessPal Integration, New Data Destinations, and a Revamped Landing Page for Terra API! 🚀
MyFitnessPal Integration
🍽 ️What?
We're thrilled to announce that the MyFitnessPal integration is back! Users can now authenticate with MyFitnessPal and seamlessly sync their food data to their favorite fitness and health apps through Terra. This integration allows users to conveniently share their dietary information and maintain a holistic view of their health and fitness journey.
🔗 How?
To enable data sharing with MyFitnessPal, we explored innovative ways for users to connect their accounts with Terra through diary-sharing settings. This streamlined process allows for a seamless flow of food data between MyFitnessPal and other apps using the Terra API.
💡 Why?
The MyFitnessPal integration has been highly sought after by developers and users alike, given MyFitnessPal's massive user base of over 200 million worldwide. When we temporarily took down the integration in the past, it sparked curiosity and anticipation among users, who eagerly awaited its return. Recognizing the demand, we worked diligently to bring it back and enhance the overall experience of sharing food data through Terra.
New Destinations Beyond Webhooks:
🗄 ️ What?
We're excited to introduce new data destinations beyond webhooks for the Terra API. Developers can now connect Terra directly to their SQL databases or S3 buckets, making it even easier to integrate users' health data into their applications.
🔌 How?
We established robust connections with popular data storage services such as SQL databases and Amazon S3 to facilitate this seamless connection. Now, developers can effortlessly receive Terra data without writing additional code.
💼 Why?
We understand that many developers already have established data storage solutions in place before integrating with Terra. By providing direct connections to SQL databases and S3 buckets, we eliminate the need for an extra layer of complexity, making it simpler for developers to access users' wearable device data within their apps.
New Landing Page
🏞 ️ What?
We've given our landing page (https://tryterra.co) a fresh, vibrant makeover! The revamped landing page now boasts engaging designs, captivating graphics, and comprehensive explanations of our various products and features.
🎨 How?
Our design and engineering teams worked closely together to rethink how we present information about the Terra API and its offerings to potential users. The goal was to make it easy for visitors to get an overview of what Terra offers and understand the benefits of integrating with our platform.
🌟 Why?
We recognized that our previous landing page needed improvement in effectively communicating the value and capabilities of the Terra API. As newcomers' first point of contact, the landing page is crucial in shaping users' perceptions of Terra. By revamping it with a focus on clarity and aesthetics, we aim to create an exceptional first impression and enhance the overall user experience.
Conclusion
These latest updates showcase our commitment to continuous improvement and innovation. The return of the MyFitnessPal integration brings power to millions of users, allowing them to share their food data seamlessly through Terra. Introducing new data destinations beyond webhooks simplifies the integration process for developers, while the revamped landing page sets the stage for a delightful and informative experience for all those exploring Terra's API. As we progress, we will continue striving for excellence and deliver cutting-edge solutions to empower health and fitness apps worldwide. 🚀
