The Nike+ website itself is nice enough, with an interesting Flash-based interface, but it is a bit limiting. It does a lot of basic stuff, such as graphing each run, keeping track of distances on a per run, week, and month basis, and comparing a particular distance with the best similar distance in the history, but there's a lot more I think I'd like to be able to see.
At a minimum, I'd like to be able to easily see a total history summation, like the iPod interface shows - total miles, total hours, total calories, etc. It would also be nice to be able to select and graph multiple runs at the same time, rather than just one particular run against a "best" run.
I have just recently discovered that people have figured out the API the Flash app uses to access the run data, so I may start to experiment with it in the near future. The data is XML-based, so I could use the API to grab the data, import it into my own database, and then do whatever I want with it. A simple set of web pages that offers a bit more functionality (such as the items listed above) would be interesting to experiment with.
