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

I've built a sail routing app that uses windyty to display the routin solution:

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...

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:

The raw OSCAR data can be visualized here:
