ppg.report VS digraph

Thank you u/aeharding !!! I use ppg.report regularly -- you can Sponsor/support Alexander and his hard work here: https://github.com/sponsors/aeharding

https://ppg.report

Shows a nicely formatted weather report for flying my paramotor, pulling data in from many different sources :-)

Why use it when you have Windy.com and Windy.app and ppg.report and aviationweather.gov ?

Yep I like ppg.report for quick no fluff wind speeds at different altitudes. When I just want to basics standing in the field or driving to an LZ, Windy is for large screen analyses at home days beforehand.

PPG.report (web) - I have it as an Icon on my iPhone for quick access to the NOAA GFS model data, which gives you 24 hours of wind predictions at different altitudes. It is not always accurate, but it IS predicting a solid 20 km square. I prefer this now over RyanCarlton.com because there are weather forecasts and airspace restrictions built in. It's very pretty too! I think Alexander Harding lurks in here. You can see and view the code for the website too. You can donate to Alexander's work on Github as well.

So excited for colors outside of sRGB! I make good use of display-p3, currently only supported in Safari, on https://ppg.report.

Flying my paramotor is one of the things I love to do in my free time, and this project (weather report for paramotor pilots) is the result of that!

I like ppg.report, but I always thought it was just a re-skined version of wind.ppgzone.com

https://ppg.report/ and RyanCarlton.com show you CAPE and CIN.

It only works if your location is within 30 miles of an airport. In which case you will see a little widget in the header, as seen here: https://github.com/aeharding/ppg.report/releases/tag/v2.1.0

My own purpose in using it is to be able to get back to any link that I've read or have potentially wanted to read at a later point in time.

You scan see screenshots here: https://github.com/emwalker/digraph.

I have the same habit and wrote a web app to catalog the links I come across:

https://digraph.app/

This was kind of the idea behind a side project I started a few years ago:

https://digraph.app/

I definitely think crowd-sourcing and a well-conceived reputation management system that can influence results are good next areas for exploration.

> I think building search vertical that are hand-curated would be very interesting to see.

That was my inspiration behind a side project I made a few years ago — a decentralized, hand curated "search engine" [0]. Never got beyond the side project stage. But I see promise in this in the future. Eventually we'll figure out that human and moderated curation is better than the best machine learning.
