Hi Stefan,
Yes, we know this is down, and sorry for that. In fact, we talked about this at the most recent Larch developers meeting (which is more of a discussion with people interested in influencing its development, so if anyone is interested in giving feedback on these tools or joining such a conversation, let me know). The current plan is to replace it with a web app that interfaces with Larch and pymatgen to generate Feff (and hopefully FDMNES) inputs.
I hope we can get a prototype up soonish, but I think this entire area (CIF/XYS_Structure -> XAS inputs, and maybe related “databases of pre-calculated first shell XAS scattering) are continually brought up as needing more attention.
So, if you or anyone else has thoughts or suggestions on these topics, we would love to hear them.
