webdc is experimental web application and library for downloading dive logs from dive computers from a browser without installing any additional software.
The library is based on Web Serial API supported by many browsers. The library could be extended with Web USB and Web Bluetooth in future.
This work is primarely based on another great opensource project libdivecomputer and can be considered as a port of libdivecomputer to JavaScript/TypeScript.
webdc is being created as an integral part of https://diveboard.com and corresponding open source repo.
