Feature request - another holiday gift for @mcneese.chad
In the run up to cape epic one of South African lads mentioned his zwift power numbers and I think they were both TR employees
Perhaps āsloppinessā is too strong a word on my part, but I still think they should have known someone would have put those pieces together. Knowing this forum alone, Iād have expected Nate to be like 
Makes me think it was intentional. Someone earlier in this thread said it could be Min using it as leverage for another program such as Xert. Perhaps?
Chances of this happening are VERY high. I think Nate is smart enough to distinguish between a good offer and an offer he canāt refuse.
If this happens it will be because Zwift gave TR an offer that would be foolish to turn down.
Now, what I can see happening is a slow merge. Where TR stay as an independently run company for a few years, while Zwift integrates TR into their systems.
It surprises me how many people think there is no way Nate would sell. Heās had so much happen in his life and heās always been very clear that he sees himself as someone who is driven by wanting to solve big problems and could move on to the next thing eventually. The team has split up and live in different places now. Heās talked recently about licensing functionality. Then take a look at all the negativity and entitlement from users (me included) and itās hard for me to NOT think heād at least consider it and see it as an opportunity.
I hope soā¦ but Iām not convinced that the people at Zwift are that sensible.
Well it could be a slow merge due to sheer incompetence as wellā¦ Look at Zwift Power theyāre just getting around to actually integrating it.
Iām sure kickr direct connect support is just around the corner.
I donāt think there is any chance of merging the two products into one, even if both companies merge together.
TR and Zwift have a lot of duplicate technology between them yet nothing in common. Zwift is facing massive technical debt and trying to integrate something as big as TR, right now is going to take a lot of effort and time, with the current pace of things at Zwift thatās like a decade of work and a lot of hard decisions to make along the way.
My hypothesis, TR just made a pretty good Adaptive Training API, they are offering it to select competitors and Zwift are curious if they can do something with it.
I advise everyone to listen to this: key bit from 23:30.
Zwift will open up a huge new customer base for TR, leveraging the marketing power of Zwift.
One thing is certainly not up for debateā¦ our forum is better than their forum and should be the one that stays

Nintendo used FUD? :-o
All this talk of Zwift using TR features. Iād be happy if TR licensed Zwiftās power based mileage! The totally meaningless Strava speed/distance totals of TR always make me sad.
Zwift kmās pretty meaningless too! I always use them because theyāre higher - strava club charts!
Can we NOT head down the speed / distance rabbit hole here, please?
Take it to any of the 50+ topics already in place:

My gut feel is this is probably quite likely, at least near term - quite easy to do on both sides and nicely complimentary to both (TR gets access to extra revenue from Zwift users and Zwift makes a massive improvement in their workout/training plans).
Zwift is fun like, but thereās pretty important feature requests on there which have not been dealt with for years, such as the example already given about saving your ride quitting the game for example. And the check marks to see which routes youād completed have only fairly recently been added - before the only way to do it was start the game and check which route badges you didnāt have, then quit and restart the whole game due to the āsave rideā issue! Or use a 3rd party service like Veloviewer.
I agree it seems like Zwift has a huge mountain of technical debt, otherwise the explanation for why stuff doesnāt get fixed seems pretty weak. TR on the other hand is much more dynamic and responsive (helps the app is obviously a lot simpler).
What if all this talk about merging with Zwift is to distract us from the discussions they had with Peleton of them buying TR out? Keeping us off the ball of their true secret intentions
