Standard comment that the implementation credit goes almost entirely to 
Berthold. Willem and I have each done a small bit - I have done some more on 
infrastructure stuff triggered by Berthold's work.

I just merged Berthold's PR that fixed that.

This is currently under active debate... in the end I'll give a lot of weight 
to Willem's preference, but everyone's input is important as it helps shape our 
perception what users would actually care about.
I kinda like the regression lines when they show a clear regression... but I 
have seen a few cases where they seem rather questionable in their validity.

I'd point out that it should be REALLY easy to identify these dives using the 
filter.
I'm not sure I really want to overload the info box this much. Curious what 
others think.

This has been pointed out by others. Right now it says 'Buddies' but implements 
'People'. It should offer all three choices.

Both I and others have mentioned that it seems that every OS has a solid 
screenshot feature that really should give you all you need in almost all 
cases. So yeah, lower priority as far as I'm concerned as well.

Funny, I also identified two data correctness issues by looking at the 
statistics and going "what the HECK???" :-)

Yes. 2 dives in the last 15 months :-(

Thank you so much for all the feedback and input. Really, really appreciated!
