I think it's not worth the pain. Its existence has always implied to me 
that perhaps subsurface would expand "share on" to include twitter 
and/or instagram (and/or I suppose snapshat?) That seems like a lot to 
chase.

Personally I've taken to syncing with divelogs.de. They've got 
tweet/google+/facebook sharing links - and interfacing with things like 
that seems more like their kind of thing. (or other websites like them - 
like if diviac or any of the other online logbooks grew reasonable 
upload/sync apis)

I vote kill it - for whatever my vote might be worth.
