        Love windy! Curious what technology you use to build /render this UI. It's GORGEOUS. Would love it if you could talk a bit about your technology stack.

          Hello Ivo

          I am from Germany and my English is not the best.
          Only now discovered your weather page.
          I use weather information on the web since 1994 and your site is actually the best free alternative so far.
          Remains in the concept, fast, compact and ad-free.
          I would also have no problem for such a good side to pay a small fee, so that it remains ad free and your effort is paid a little.

          Many greetings from Koblenz, Rhineland, Germany

            Hi, Ivo
            I'm a big fan of windy.com and and mainly use GFS model to help understand the weather. It's also exciting that EC model is added. I've download a program which is said to be able to transfer GFS and EC data into charts. But I just have no idea where I could download these data by myself, especially EC. Would you like to share some ideas?

            Thanks.
            Robin

                    Stumbled on this site looking for more up-to-date info on the 2017 USA Hurricane season and you have the best site I've seen yet!

                        I find utterly impressive this gorgeous website is still free and ad-free. How can be possible?

                          I think time will come where parts of data will be available only for paying users.. But hopefully this is far away @gutiserra

                            Very nice app! Just downloaded it yesterday. Seams very user friendly. Trying to load my picture so far has been unsuccessful. When I choose upload file the app closes. As a pilot and aircraft owner I look forward to learning more about this app, great job!

                              I am a sailplane pilot who lives in Virginia.
                              Using Windy.com, I've been able to finally accomplish my 500 kilometer glider flight in early August. By using the wind directions and velocities on Windy, I was able to determine that my flight was able to use the ridges from Strasburg VA, all the way down to Glasgow Virginia, and back to finish my 501.6 kilometer flight. Thanks Windy! My favorite feature is the "Alert Me" feature. I've thought about writing such an application for a long time, and am happy that you did it first.

                                    The most awesome wind map application! The one I go to everyday especially enjoy the different tabs for visibility and all.
                                    Thanks for your enthusiasm!

                                        Found this awesome app/site right before Irma came into town. Couldn't take my eyes off the app. Any chance of getting notifications sent to a phone?

                                        Great job!

                                            Hello Ivo and all others of the Windy team!
                                            I am living in Puerto Rico since several years, and rely on your fabulous app for planning sailing trips, and anytime a storm is forecast to arrive near this enchanted island. Especially during hurricane season, the information provided is very helpful to be able to be prepared with the right mindset, provisions, and defensive measures. We use it on our mobile devices, and on our laptops. You guys are AWESOME!!!
