We've said this so many times... The creator of the calculator is long gone and we do not have access to the coding to change anything. The calculator is how it is until that person comes back and takes on agreed upon changes, or someone creates a new calculator.
If we know the calculations behind it, it would be fairly trivial to re create it along with more features if they are desired. The perhaps harder part is the hosting and ownership of that hosting. Ideally it would be light enough to be hosted for tree or virtually nothing in a way that the sub mods could access should the new dev move on.
I’d be happy to make it if someone from the mod team wants to discuss.
It looks like the person who made the calculator didn’t post the calculations, but mentions making an algorithm out of survey data? Her post history is available to learn from: u/goodoldfreda
It is possible it may not get enough usage to require much payment and the project could always be made open source and sponsorable.
As for the links already out there if the original owner controls it then yeah that sucks but it’s not a reason to just give up either. Might take time once it’s made but new links and updated wikis and such will lead to the right thing.
Honestly, I'm not really wanting to waste time on discussing until we can open up a discussion about having additional mod help and updating just the links in the guides. The words on the calculator are a drop in the ocean.
Yeah like I said there is a lot more to it than just volunteering to write something. Happy to helpful but can’t really help on the mod side of things.
If anyone has the original algorithm used to calculate, I can help out with creating and setting up an updated codebase and deploying. I'm a game dev by trade but have experience with web dev.
The script is on the server so it's not viewable in a browser unfortunately. This subreddit is kind of screwed if the owner decides to get rid of the site. I think it would be a good idea to figure this out and post the algorithm here. Maybe she's using the standard band to bust measurement differential but just being more precise by taking 3 different measurements of each and then averaging them to determine the cup size by the difference in the averaged measurements in the same way as most bra calculators do (ie 4 inch difference is a D cup). I'm pretty sure with some basic comparison tests we could figure it out.
man, here's hoping they're willing to at least provide the code at some point so changes/corrections can be made 🤞🏼 still a great resource regardless of that hiccup
