Hi Dirk,

Thanks for your little distraction. This looks very nice, and much more
attractive than the current cloud.subsurface-divelog.org.

having the Subsurface mobile app we have today. If I was away from my
computer and wanted to look at a dive log it was great. But now I have a
nearly full-featured version of subsurface on my phone, so I don't find
myself needing a webUI (even a much prettier version).

Cheers,
