    • RE: Love Windy? Hack Windy. Contributors Wanted

      Hi @ivo, regarding donations, I would recommend leveraging existing facilities and frameworks such as:

      https://www.patreon.com
      https://www.paypal.com
      https://stripe.com

      Players such as these already handle all of the security and compliance aspects of handling credit/payment cards. I think all of them handle a wide collection of countries and languages.

      I think the implementation with windy.com would be windy-specific rather than some new open source project. But perhaps I'm not looking at it the same way you are.

      I'm willing to help any way I can. I've used stripe in my own project - so I have some first-hand knowledge there; and have some prior experience with paypal and patreon - although as as standalone services.

      Cheers,
      Jeremy

    • RE: Can I track a boat with windyty?

      I've built a sail routing app that uses windyty to display the routin solution:
      http://www.fastseas.com/

      it's not a tracker, and it's not a forecaster, but it does compute recommended route given the forecast weather conditions along the route...

    • RE: Currents...wrong data ??

      The OSCAR source data is provided in a 20NM grid and typically has gaps at coastlines and in shallow bank areas. @meteo-GR, I think you are right - that the interpolation in windy.com visualization is creating artifacts that are not supported by the source data. See the comparison below:

      Raw data:

    • RE: Love Windy? Hack Windy. Contributors Wanted

      Hi @ivo - Stripe will accept payments from users anywhere - but they have a limited number of countries that you can register your business from, and the Czech Republic is not among them yet.
      https://stripe.com/global

      It's the death and taxes conundrum. Maybe you need to do a road trip to Luxembourg ;)

    • Ocean currents

      Hello - a couple feedback items concerning currents:

      1. when I show the "currents" layer, the forecast model/source is shown as either "ECMWF WAM" or "NOAA Wavewatch 3", but I think the actual source of data is "NOAA OSCAR".

      2. can you add the NOAA Global RTOFS model for ocean current, in addition to OSCAR?

      Thanks,
      Jeremy

    • RE: Problems with embed with loading sources

      @jcaceres well for http://fastseas.com , I hacked together a temporary fix. I created my own variants of the windyty API javascript files, boot.js and api.js. The issue is with the domain name shift from windyty.com to windytv.com. Looks like they started doing redirects today - which I think is tripping the AJAX calls the API is making. I updated the domain names in the API javascript.
