Propose a NEW LAYER / FEATURE You'd like on Windy

Hi. Congratulations for your site!
I am a paralider pilot. The wind directions in the alerts are not enough "fine tunable" for me. In paragliding more or less 20°make a big difference... Example : I can not set an alert at "ONO", I can only choose between O or NO. -
@jmgalan being honest 20% is just about precision and tolerance of forecasting model, anyway wind direction always oscillates.

@qrj77416 WOW this is nice? What do you know about this service?

Better Alarm system with independent alarms for all layers
See https://community.windy.com/topic/5115/alarm-conditions-with-and-operators -
@michal-koldinsky
Hi. A version ago on the mobile app there was a slider on the left for altitude. And a setting/slider on the right for the basic view type.
I found this very useful as a pilot.
I’m presuming you moved away from it because many users are not pilots/aviators.
So I would like to propose a user-specified configuration that allows an aviation user (or whoever) to view/utilize the “two slider” GUI.
Thanks!

You could add many German weather stations for free.. Offered by DWD

I propose a new layer - Weather front.

A Cyclone/Hurricane/Typhoon Forecast Track
Once a Tropical Storm is "detected" (not sure with the term), there will be a forecast track for this storm with details about the max. wind speeds, gusts, and storm category.
I use this website for forecast tracks and other information (like chances of an area experiencing TS force winds, chances of landfall, etc.) -
Add more radar data if available.. Eg for Germany
-
@ivo I do not know much about this service, besides what is on their page, I found while searching seismic maps and cyclones, and I came across it.
there looks that they have a paid API for others software, maybe windy can incorporate some info for free, but I don't know.
-
a Flight Tracker like Flightradar24, also a interesting thing for add on Windy
-
I have other feature to suggest, support for different map projections, Windy use Mercator projection, but there exist others more useful for studies and etc...
some info.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Map_projection
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_map_projectionsthis site is a tool for see distortions on the Mercator projection.

It's already here !

This would be most helpful (Philippines) as to give an advance warning and probably save lives and give the agency a time in advance remotely
-
@goro Was first requested here. I would love to see this too.

Dear Windy users,
this topic is for everyone who wants to propose a new layer or a new feature to Windy. Feel free to upvote the posts with best suggestions, so we may focus on them with higher priority.

Is it possible to add the Jet Stream to the display? -
@michal-koldinsky
We would like:
1) Sea currents layer to work on the API
2) Forecast/Meteogram to work on the API
3) Mass import/export of favorites to be enabled
4) Historical data to become available again. -
some more info about RSOE EDIS

First of all: Great work so far!
I would like to see some layers containing pseudopotential o equivalent potential temperature.
Thanks in advance and keep up the good work!
