Aster has a light social layer so you can share your riding and running — and follow other people's — without leaving for another app.
Write a post
A post is text plus media, shared to your followers or the public. To create one, tap Write and:
- Add photos and GIFs, or open the editor to build a richer image.
- Attach a ride or run so the post shows its distance, time and elevation, or attach an event to tie a recap to a race.
- Choose who can see it:
- Public — anyone, signed in or not.
- Followers — only the people who follow you.
- Private — only you (handy for drafts).
- Save it as a draft and publish when you're ready.
The image editor
The editor turns a photo into a shareable image. On top of a base photo you can lay:
- Text — captions and titles, positioned where you want.
- GIFs and stickers from GIPHY — these stay animated wherever the post is seen: in the editor, in the feed and on the post itself.
- Emoji.
- Ride-data stickers — your distance, time or other stats from a ride or run, dropped straight onto the image.
Drag to move a layer; use two fingers to resize and rotate it. What you build is exactly what everyone sees — the same live image renders in the feed and on the post, so animated GIFs never flatten into a still.
Event feed posts
On an event, organisers and participants can both post to the event feed: announcements, updates and recaps that registered riders and event followers see. Organiser posts can notify the event's audience; see Notification types.
Posting as a team
If you manage a team, you can post as the team rather than as yourself — the post lands on the team's feed and its followers see it.
Club-only posts
Clubs also have a members-only board — a private noticeboard on the club page that only active members can read or post to, and that never appears in any public feed. It's the place for "meet at the other car park this week" and ride notices. See the club board.
Who can delete what
- Your own stories — only you can delete them.
- Event feed posts — the author can delete their own, and the event's organiser can remove any post on their event's feed.
Good to know
- Public posts are visible to everyone, including people without an account.
- Followers-only and private posts respect those limits everywhere they appear.
- See Comments, reactions and mentions for how people engage with your posts.
