  I'm working on a small web utility project called fdown.media, and I'm exploring ways to keep API-based features lightweight and responsive, especially for mobile users. I'm currently interested in how Windy API integrations should be structured when weather information needs to be displayed inside a web application. What is the recommended approach for reducing unnecessary API requests? For example: Should weather data be cached on the client or server? How often should location-based data be refreshed? Is it better to load the Windy component only when the user requests it? Are there recommended practices for avoiding duplicate requests when users change locations? What should developers consider regarding API limits and performance? I'd appreciate advice from developers who have experience integrating Windy API into web applications.

  I have tested the latest version of Passage Planner, dated 13 October 2026. During a crossing involving tacking, Passage Planner sometimes causes the boat to move straight into the wind without tacking. I noticed this with a polar diagram where the speeds were not zero between TWA 0° and TWA 45°. I modified the polar diagram with zero speeds under these conditions. The boat still continues to move straight into the wind in some cases. The boat’s speed does not correspond to the VMG either. Has anyone else observed the same behaviour?
