Windy: Help us to test Windy.com in offline mode

Hi Guys

Since modern Internet browsers introduced new technology "Service Worker", we have developed offline mode of Windy, thanks to it.

Offline mode was just released, and it is in testing mode.

It is available only for desktop browsers so far and can be reach just on this link: https://www.windy.com/offline

You are welcome to give it a decent try and let us know your feedback.

Known bug: stuck download

There is one BUG in offline mode, we are aware of. Downloading of offline data, gets sometimes stuck. Reloading the page, and opening https://www.windy.com/offline helps, but this can not be permanent solution. If you are a techie, maybe you will be able to help us, find this nasty BUG.

Problems accessing Windy.com

Service Worker acts as a proxy server in between your browser and Internet, so if you will have a feeling, that there is something wrong with access to Windy.com, just delete Service Worker, and you are fine.

How to delete Service Worker

In you browser, go to View -> Developer -> Developer Tools

In Developer Tools go to folder Application, then select Service Workers, and here Unregister

Of course all this you must do on www.windy.com address

Thanks for sharing this update. I tried the new offline mode and it’s great to see Windy taking advantage of service workers for smoother access without a connection. I’ll keep testing it and share any feedback, but so far it’s a really promising addition

so then why we need to pay you a premium subscription if we cannot use it while offshore?
its more smart to pay subscription who supports this

Hello, it would be super useful to do an offline mode on mobile in some format. I'm frequently in remote areas with no service and have to resort to screenshotting the app on my phone in multiple locations to keep a 5-7 day forecast for a long mission - would be awesome to be able to offline this with more detail.
