Show HN: I made GarWin, a free and user-friendly Garmin Badges database

Hey HN.

I am, sadly, ill-equipped for sports and gamification gets me going, so when I discovered that my GF completed almost all related challenges since she got a Garmin smartwatch, I naturally wanted to browse all badges.

And the UX was crap. Very little filters and no way to browse the past badges.

So I figured-out how to get the data - a little over 1k badges in total so far - and then I manually fine-tuned it, to later add more filtering options, whenever related.

It is built with Next.js (on App Router) and Supabase's DB and PostgREST.

I thought I'll share: it is all free to use, and I hope those silly challenges help others stay fit, get in better shape or just enjoy sports and accomplishments.

Cheers, Vik.
