Relive currently has 1.2 million users around the world.\r\n\r\n\"People love to share [the videos] with their family and friends,\" said Joris van Kruijssen, who cofounded Relive with developers Lex Daniels and Yousef El-Dardiry.\r\n\r\nDaniels, van Kruijssen, and El-Dardiry came up with the idea for the Relive app during a bike trip in the Canary Islands in 2016. \"We were cycling in Tenerife and figured it would be amazing if there was an app to capture our cycling holiday in a movie,\" said El-Dardiry, who is also Relive's technical lead."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":64852,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"While van Kruijssen, Daniels, and El-Dardiry were using the Strava app to record performance metrics on their rides in Tenerife, the three friends realized something was missing: the visual aspect of their adventures. \"It didn't fully capture the experience we had\u2014the nice views, discovering the terrain, and the fun we had. We saw a great opportunity,\" van Kruijssen said.\r\n\r\nTalk soon turned to action. After fleshing out the idea during a barbecue in Tenerife, Daniels and El-Dardiry began writing code, and the app started to take shape later the same day.\r\n\r\nBack home in the Netherlands, they created what van Kruijssen called \"a good working prototype\" within two months and shared it with a few friends. \"After a week, a thousand people were using our app,\" he said.\r\n\r\nToday, Relive employs a team of seven people and continues to refine its mobile app, available for download from\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/play.google.com\/store\/apps\/details?id=cc.relive.reliveapp\">Google Play\u00a0<\/a>or the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/app\/relive-cycling\/id1201703657\">Apple App Store<\/a>. The app takes activity-tracking data from apps such as Strava, Garmin Connect, \u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.endomondo.com\/\">Endomondo<\/a>, and\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/flow.polar.com\/\">Polar Flow<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0and maps it on satellite imagery from the\u00a0<em>World Imagery<\/em>\u00a0basemap, which Relive obtained from Esri Netherlands.\u00a0 (Users who sign up for Relive accounts give Polar Flow, Endomondo, Strava, and Garmin Connect permission to share their data with the Relive app.)\r\n\r\nDuring the app development phase, El-Dardiry searched for digital map technology to visualize the adventures. He found Esri's\u00a0<em>World Imagery<\/em>\u00a0basemap in the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/livingatlas.arcgis.com\/en\/#s=0\">Living Atlas of the World<\/a>\u00a0to be a great fit with the app."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":64872,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"\"We wanted to give everyone the opportunity to create a beautiful video of their adventures, so it was important to find a high-quality map with global coverage,\" said El-Dardiry. \"Esri's Living Atlas of the World was the best solution.

They understand the unique needs and challenges of our startup and are always thinking of how they can help us.\"\r\n\r\nDuring a recent trip to San Francisco, California, van Kruijssen, an avid bike rider, said he tracked his performance metrics as he cycled across the Golden Gate Bridge to Marin County. Within a half hour after his trip, he had used the Relive app to create a video of the journey to send to his mother in the Netherlands. \"I immediately shared it with my mom to show her what great views I had,\" he said."},{"acf_fc_layout":"image","image":64892,"image_position":"right","orientation":"horizontal","hyperlink":""},{"acf_fc_layout":"content","content":"Relive is already a success, with more than 200,000 new videos being made each day around the world including from countries such as South Korea and Brazil.
