But as Dirk writes, my previous attempts were very limited in success: My main obstacle is that the initial investment is quite high: In the desktop version, I can do something productive with just 30min of time.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">But for the mobile version, I am not at that stage. Whenever I tried, it took me several hours to just setup my system to be able to build a binary that runs. And often enough not even that. At that point, I love done zero productive work, because it took me so long to just reproduce what others already did. And then, if I leave it for some time, the underlying things changed so I typically have to start all over to figure out what is not working for me. </div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">If we manage to get around this problem, I promise I will produce useful code for the mobile version (which I would love to see improving). But the current model does not work for me and I agree with the Dirkhh that it would be a total nightmare to adopt the desktop version to this model.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">I would say, right now, we have a bit of time. I am willing to invest some time into the mobile version again (in case I get the impression i can contribute). If we overcome these problems for good, then it might be worthwhile to unite the codebase even more. But let’s prove we can do that first.</div><div class=""><br class=""></div><div class="">As an alternative for somebody who wants to tackle a project of more than trivial size: Currently, our profile code can handle only a single dive (or dive computer if you like). There are several things one could do if one could overlay several profiles. But allowing this requires some work.
