Federico, My ideas for the FAQ mesh fairly well with yours: * highlight the mobile apps, and better explain how the companion app is unnecessary if using Android (and frozen support-wise). * explain how to do a few things that are listed in the manual, but easily forgotten. For example, I've introduced the tool to 2 people and both struggled with how to add tanks or weights. That little plus sign wasn't obvious. Another example is editing multiple dives at once. * re-order the FAQ * a bit about cloud storage vs storing locally * re-word the FAQ on using Subsurface with multiple users. It sounds like its really clunky, but at least on Windows and Mac (the two environments I've tested), it works better than it seems from the FAQ. I haven't had a lot of time to work on this but I'm going to have a bit more time in February. If you want to coordinate this with my, or we just work through github, then that's ok with me. ..Hartley
