Two-Week Check-in #1: New Metric and Fresh Hardware

Hey Mylz Crew! 👋

I hope your spring training blocks are going strong. We're grinding behind the scenes to get the mylz tag out of the lab and onto your shoes as soon as we can. Though this can feel a bit slow, here are some major steps forward.

  1. New feature: Shoe Degradation Score 🔥 After talking to many of you, it was clear: tracking the shoe is what makes mylz different. This is what makes us unique. So we built the Shoe Degradation Score. It takes every metric our tag captures and estimates how your foam and traction are holding up over time, specific to your stride, your weight, your runs.

  2. Hardware v0.2 is working ✅ v0.2 of the hardware uses a production-grade "CPU": more power efficient, more memory, and more economical. The ideal brain. We received the boards last Monday and had to troubleshoot many hardware problems. But as of today, it's WORKING! 🎉

The new v0.2 hardware, up and running

We're getting closer to launch every single day. Let us know if you want to know anything else.

Keep on logging mylz, Brian
