This.
You don’t even have to pay for this data. You literally just flip a switch and make calls to read/write this data. So much easier than getting Whoop data.
What a missed opportunity…
Not really use the calendar.
I have a coach and usually she tell what i should do and i create the Wo using the WC,.and that’s why I so annoyed by WC… It’s not great…
But, i love train now and ai ftp because I actually use it and find it helpful.
That said i remember using the calendar on the web before and it was frustrating, Soni can see someone who use it all the time would be aggravated by it.
Regarding using external data… They still haven’t show swim and runs… Something that is core to many users here (like me) who do triathlons or do multi sport training…
The JIT is the problem. It compiles the JS to “native” code, but on M1 in emulation this is the wrong kind of native code so now Rosetta has to JIT it again to ARM code. And Rosetta normally caches translated code, but it can’t do that if it was JITed.
Here’s an article by the Firefox developers explaining this problem: Porting Firefox to Apple Silicon - Mozilla Hacks - the Web developer blog
They got a 2.5x speedup going native.
Now that being said, I couldn’t care less if TrainerRoad is native or not. It is fast enough and barely uses any CPU or battery, so the change would make no appreciable difference. For Zwift it’s different.

Zwift most certainly is a bloated mess. I know they’re doing UI tweaks but I sure hope they’re working on some optimizations with the rest of their codebase.
All software becomes bloated. Better to get in front of things instead of being on the back foot.
True, and I don’t have a good answer to this. I’d imagine they could download runs and swims from e. g. Wahoo’s, Strava’s or Garmin’s databases just like they do not for bike rides. TR could also download this data from Apple Health. I don’t know why they don’t at present.
Nate said in another topic they are actually working on run import: Upload Run and Swim workouts from Garmin/Strava to TR calendar (Feature Request) - #685 by Nate_Pearson

Just got an M2 MacBook Air. Crazy there’s still no TR app optimized for Apple Silicon chips after two years. Also, they need to update the app icon to match the rest of the macOS app icons, but they already know that. 
I see what you’re saying here but TR doesn’t begin to push the hardware even through Rosetta. It’s not like it has graphics. I’ll bet a decent solar calculator could power what TR shows on the screen.

This has nothing to do with Electron and everything to do with Firefox and VLC not doing things “the mac way” either. There isn’t supposed to be window management on top of fullscreen apps in macOS. Firefox implements fullscreen the wrong way, fortunately.
