2024 Vendee Globe Yacht Tracking

[idefix37]

@seb12345
I like your layout, but the advantage of @kbsali plugin is that it is in English. It is reachable to more people.

[seb12345]

@idefix37 It is actually translated depending on browser headers but my browser was sending French as preferred language. (there is only english and french in the translations so far).

But as it is likely not aimed to be published, anyone can fork it or take some code from it if needed, it is an ephemeral project due to the nature of the event!

@seb12345 I think we should join forces ;) I contacted you through linkedin to discuss this further

[kbsali]

@David-Polášek very interested in joining the slack yes, i DM'ed my email address

@kbsali
I wonder how, unlike the other competitors, Jean Le Cam, with a speed of 15.8 knots, covered 15.8 NM in half an hour.

Thanks for sharing your great plugins to track the vendee globe within windy, @kbsali and @seb12345.

If I remember correctly, the plugin 4 years ago had a weather routing feature - which I found really interesting and really improved the way I could follow the vendee globe. Is anything planned in this direction or does anyone know how you could get access to something similar?

Thanks a lot! :)

@pandanade Not sure that is what you're after but on the Initiatives Coeur website (Sam Davies) you can click on the "Routages" button (top left) and it'll show routings for all the boats.

@Paspox Wow, that's a nice tracker. Like that one way more than the official Vendee Globe one and also really love the routing feature. Thanks for sharing!

@kbsali Your plugin isn't open source, is it?

@kbsali Thanks Very much Kévin ! ;)

[Keanu R. Perm]

@Keanu-R-Perm now i can send my thousands thanks direct to you, @kbsali!!! Merci beaucoup. Ça m'a manqué.

@idefix37 sorry I am not getting email notifications for those messages.
I can't tell you about those specific differences, the data is taken from the reports, no analysis what so ever :D

[kbsali]

Hi all,
A new version has been published this morning with a much improved UX/UI

Hope you like it!
If you have ideas/wishes etc... don't hesitate.
Next big improvement : routings!

@kbsali

The new layout is much better indeed, I like it !
It is fine to see the boats with foils and the ones without.

[idefix37]

@kbsali
Just a small glitch. With the previous version, it was possible for me to get your plugin on iPad with the browser version. Now I no longer have the current ranking. But it ok on desktop.

I suggest that you change the text in French to English if possible. I guess there are many Windy users following this race but not speaking French.
Including nds in French meaning kt (knot) in English.

[idefix37]

To get the new version of this plugin, it is necessary to delete the previous one (the small bin) and load the new one.

[kbsali]

@idefix37

• strange, it should default to english 🤔
• and ok for ipad, we haven't tested those devices...

Thanks for the feedback!

Hi,

When you activate the plugin on the Stellite view it switches automatically on Wind view;
Any idea on how to get the plugin on overlay of any view ?

Thanks,
F

Great plugin, love it :=)

I think distances should be displayed in "nm" though (now it's "kt")

[kbsali]

hey @InsomniaSailing , strange I thought I fixed it... 🤔
next release I guess! 😅
