I used Windy for the first time with this typhoon, Hagibis, checking every hour or so to make sure the forecast that the center of the storm would pass over my building at around 21:00. (It did.)
Had never heard of this app before, but somebody posted a windy.com link in work Slack, and then the presentation of the storm looked so pretty, with no ads or unwanted crap junking it up, that I took the unusual (for me) step of installing the app version on my phone.
Seems really cool (if you click around, they have all kinds of other visualizations that aren't meaningful to me but look cool), and I will probably use this next time also. One kind of weird thing about it was I couldn't find any information about who made this app and why. I didn't see an "about" link or anything like that.
- kaybe 7y agoSome guy called Ivo made it because he loves wind. https://community.windy.com/topic/4/about-windy https://community.windy.com/topic/4/about-windy
- RivieraKid 7y agoIt was made by Ivo Lukacovic, he fully owns Seznam.cz (search, news, TV, email, maps, etc.). It started as his personal project but now it's a startup with about 10 employees. Also check out the Windy Maps app, which is basically stripped down version of Mapy.cz.
