Hello Windy team,

I would like to request a review and inclusion of the following external plugin in the finished plugins list.

Plugin: Sun & Moon Path
Version: 0.9.1
Previous stable version: 0.8.1
Plugin ID: windy-plugin-sun-moon-path
Plugin URL: https://windy-plugins.com/17629746/windy-plugin-sun-moon-path/0.9.1/plugin.min.js
Repository: https://github.com/bytepoem/windy-plugin-sun-moon-path
Visibility: public (private: false)

What's new in 0.9.1 compared with 0.8.1:

• Added a RainViewer precipitation-radar overlay directly on the Windy map.
• Added radar frame time, playback progress and adjustable overlay opacity.
• Added a startup-layer preference. Users can keep the current Windy layer or automatically switch to a selected layer when opening the plugin.
• Added temporary location pinning to prevent accidental map clicks from changing the observing point.
• Improved Favorite Locations comparison: clicking a location name now switches to that location and keeps it within the visible map area.
• Added GitHub-based version checking and user-friendly bilingual update notes to the About tab.
• Added current-version release notes when the installed version is already up to date.
• Ensured version-check and release-note request failures never block normal plugin usage.
• Improved the mobile Events panel, Favorites interfaces and map positioning.
• Fixed several mobile layout and location-interaction issues.

Existing main features:

• Sunrise, sunset, moonrise and moonset direction lines, including 30-minute before/after references.
• Live Sun and Moon direction, altitude, moon phase and local event times.
• Five-day EC, GFS and ICON weather comparison with cloud, precipitation, visibility and AOD data.
• Moonless-night and Milky Way observing windows with weather evidence.
• Favorite-location comparison, coordinate search and mobile-friendly controls.

A current screenshot is attached.

This is a stable release, not a beta version.

Thank you for reviewing it.

Hi @pavelmedia and Windy team,

Sun & Moon Path 0.8.1 is now finished and available through the Windy publish pipeline.

This is a stable release, not a beta version. Could you please review the update and publish it in the public Windy plugins gallery?

Plugin name:
windy-plugin-sun-moon-path

Plugin title:
Sun & Moon Path

Version:
0.8.1

Installation URL:
https://windy-plugins.com/17629746/windy-plugin-sun-moon-path/0.8.1/plugin.min.js

GitHub repository:
https://github.com/bytepoem/windy-plugin-sun-moon-path

Description:
Sun & Moon Path displays sunrise, sunset, moonrise, moonset, and live sun and moon directions for any selected location and date directly on the Windy map.

The plugin combines astronomy calculations with EC, GFS, and ICON weather forecasts, cloud cover, visibility, AOD, moonlight, elevation, and light-pollution information to help users plan photography, stargazing, and outdoor activities.

Main updates in 0.8.1:

• Integration with Windy favorite locations, including search and sorting by distance, recency, elevation, or light pollution.
• Comparison of 2–5 favorite locations for the same date, including celestial events, moonless-night and Milky Way observing windows, weather, elevation, and light pollution.
• Exact WGS84 and GCJ-02 coordinate input without requiring a map API key.
• A new mobile direction-line mode that preserves the essential controls and astronomy information while leaving more space for the map.
• Improved observing-condition evidence, progressive loading, date handling, map positioning, zoom controls, and bilingual accessibility.
• Immediate cleanup of listeners, timers, map layers, and asynchronous requests when the plugin is closed.

The plugin has private: false, the repository is public, and the updated screenshot is included as src/screenshot.jpg.

Thank you for reviewing the new version!

Hi @pavelmedia,

I have addressed the requested changes and published version 0.6.1:

• Added the required screenshot at src/screenshot.jpg.
