I need a way to make source code and an executable available, don't have a website to host it on.
@PAV8888 are you able to assist with that ^ ?2 -

Well, other than gihub or just a shared google drive, or onedrive , or dropbox file that people would run at their own risk, may I remind that @EvgeniZyntx used to, for years, have an MFP Data Export and Many Interesting Calculations Tool for Excel that would scrape the same food diary page. He was hosting it using his MFP blog and would link to it via the thread he had started and from his profile page on MFP: http://www.myfitnesspal.com/blog/EvgeniZyntx/view/mfp-data-export-tool-the-overview-659927 (and as it turns out he is just hosting it as a publicly shared file from his dropbox).
Plus any of the many free ~1GB to ~10GB file hosting plans that allow for public file sharing. <-hmm, I should get with the times: seems that dropbox has restricted this? Never had an issue doing it with google drive myself. pcloud seems to do this. OK: and dropbox still allows sharing individual files via public link, just not a complete public folder.
Some vague ~2 years back the tool stopped being able to import arbitrary time ranges and became limited to 365 days. Subsequent to that it became unable to get 365 days and the number of days kept going down till the excel reports were devoid of real meaning since they were only looking at a month or so.

I love how I just found this out today. I have a 2615 day streak on here, and MFP couldn't even give me the courtesy of an email to let me know that my pre-2018 data was going to disappear in October?3

I knew about this in Oct but I've just fine and checked and I still have all my data from when I joined in 2015.
Here is a random date in 2016. I can see everything.
Yes I'm on the free version, always have been.

But obviously, given the announcement, there is zero guarantee that this will continue to be the case.
Or at least that's what they announced.1 -
Very true, I just thought it was interesting I still have my data.1
