Correct.

The Subsurface app structure is in large parts based on on code that comes from a number of key libraries. For talking to dive computers, for talking to the backend server for cloud storage, for local storage, etc. And it makes quite extensive use of Qt. I have no idea how that would be possible from a web app - I know very little about web applications, so this may be a deal killer, or this may be easy to do - I simply don't know.

As for the question of a "dive web app" - there are a number of websites that allow a user to manage their dives over the web - divelogs.de <http://divelogs.de/> is one that Subsurface is fairly well integrated with. So from our side there are no plans to build something that would compete with them.
