Access web apps will be read only on April 1st, please plan accordingly

I have written a series of blog posts on rescuing your data from its Soon-To-Be-Late AWA. If you haven't yet figured out how you're going to do that with your data, right now would be a very good time to get that taken care of.
Wait a second.
"PowerAccess | PowerGit convert Web Database .accdb files to Desktop Database .accdb "
Perhaps you mistyped there. An Access Web App is not in an accdb file. So perhaps you meant to type accdw? Or perhaps you're talking about something else?
Perhaps we should pursue your claims in a different venue or at a different time?
Now I am wondering if, perhaps instead of Access Web Apps, what you are offering to convert would actually be the older, Access Web Database format, which was based on the older, SharePoint lists, running from a SharePoint site?
That, of course, is not particularly unusual. There is a native functionality within that format to convert them to a desktop accdb.
The claim that you are able to convert Access Web Apps, including forms, and including reports--which don't even exist in Access Web Apps--is what piqued my curiosity. Indeed it would be quite an accomplishment to do the latter.
However, pending clarification of what your tool does, I guess it's best to let it go for now.
Thanks anyway.
