Not a requirement for me at all. I use both Runkeeper and Strava (long story) and occasionally post times to social media but mostly use them for personal tracking and connecting with friends around running.

Posting an image of my course + time to web would be enough for me and prevent the need for building a web version when some novel functionality might be a better investment.

I'll actually go one further and say that if something has a web gateway that is mandatory, I specifically won't use it. I've used MyFitnessPal in the past, but when I tried to use it again recently, opening the app presented me with a login screen, so I deleted the app. I think Endomoto also forces me to log in, so I deleted it. If I recall correctly, RunKeeper also has a login gateway and they imply that you won't be able to use it without signing in. I almost deleted that one too, but I think that once I got around the login screen they stopped asking me actively to sign in.

That is my thought. We've already got the post a screenshot of map and times in there. I'd rather work on adding interval training stuff and more charts and graphs than build a web version.
