It is indeed a cool project. However I am interested how they make money? Their apps seem to have IAPs, or how does their business-model work?

- drej 7y agoThe project was started (and still being partly coded by) one of the most successful Czech internet entrepreneurs, currently ~16th wealthiest Czech out there, his fortune estimated at ~$.7bn, so this venture seems to be self funded. I can dig up an interview I read with him (in Czech), but I can't recall him talking about the financial side of things. He rarely talks to the press, so it's hard to come by this sort of information.
- gitgud 7y agoThat's kind of amazing. Is it common for wealthy entrepreneurs to create self-funded projects like this? Sounds like some kind of internet-philanthropy...

- fencepost 7y agoIf you're on the webpage, under the top left corner hamburger menu the first item is "Donate". Not sure how they've done this year, their goal listed is $550k but for me it shows 0% which I find hard to believe in December. I blame my browser lockdowns. They also have apps with in-app purchases to donate as well. My preferred weather widget on Android (Meteogram Pro) links out to Windy if you tap the top center of the widget, it's very handy.
