I'm am leaning towards keeping the export to divelogs.de <http://divelogs.de/> because that seems convenient for those who don't see value in the Subsurface Cloud. And if we simply select all dives this appears to be a fairly straight forward setup. I just pushed an update to the iOS beta which implements that. The file based exports seem silly. I will definitely disable them on Android (where file access is already very limited and will be even more so in Android 11), but even on iOS I find them borderline (and the user experience with the file select box is hideous). So unless someone speaks up and tells me with a straight face that there is actual value in this, I'll remove that on iOS as well. > I really like the app, so a big thanks to everyone who participated!

I have started to be much quicker in telling people to get lost (and I have by now explicitly blocked a few people from using the cloud storage that I provide for free because at a certain level of being assholes I just don't see the point of helping those people...). But the thing that keeps me going are people like you and many of the others on this list. Positive, helpful, excited. Thanks for that. And for the great collaboration over the years. /D
