I'm still here! I read everything, but I don't always have time to respond, I have quite the busy live, and you know also need to teach some courses every now and then.
Anyhow, I have worked on the app a bit more and reworked the gas plan visualization. The pie chart is gone now and instead you get a (better) bar chart.
I also ditched the idea of showing liters of gas used, instead it now shows pressure (in bar for now as imperial units are something I still need to work on). Obviously the downside of pressure is that you cannot show negative pressure to visualize a gas shortage. Since in the real world a negative gas pressure simply does not exist (you can't go beyond a full vacuum can you?). Anyway to see the amount of liters being used you can also click on a bar to see additional details.
Anyhow, see the screenshots for yourself, I think this is already miles better then what it used to be.
Bar chart:

A 25 minute dive to 40 meters, with a double 12 set and 2 deco stages (50 and 80 percent). | Same dive but without the 80% stage. Now the single 50% stage is not enough to share it with a panicked buddy until you reach the surface. However it is enough for a normal dive. |
You can also see a thin red line, this marks 50 bar, which is generally considered as a good limit to surface with under normal conditions. I'm thinking to make this line configurable.
Cylinder details (click on bar):
