As I’ve said repeatedly - that was part of the goal. There’s actually another, more selfish goal that I haven’t mentioned, yet. 😁 Currently the html files for every active user (we are talking dozens of GB) are pre-rendered and stored on each of the cloud servers. And the new webUI reads directly from git, so it essentially cuts the storage requirement in half. I was getting tired of constantly having to upgrade servers and migrate all the data… this will give me a few years of headroom. >> And I know that soon someone will say "it would be nice if I could edit the >> notes, or the buddy names"...

Yeah, I thought about that. Not too hard to do, I guess. But definitely more complex with all of the corner cases. > But to be honest, I found the old webUI helpful prior to having the > Subsurface mobile app we have today.

Hence my desire to not get sucked too far into this fun little project. The main reason people log into the cloud account on the web is to check their credentials 🤣 Still - the existing UI is so hideous that it simply offends me. /D
