Convek

API for soaring-specific weather data based on RASP, aimed at paragliders and instrument makers, with widgets and daily emails for gliding clubs. Currently has 24 sign-ups and ~5 active users with one paying subscriber, and is expanding to cover every country while waiting for users to add another compute server since RASP is compute-heavy.

    “Convek https://convek.dev/ It's an API (first one) for soaring specific weather data, based on RASP, for paragliders, instrument makers etc. 24 sign ups and ~5 active users, no subscribers yet (one person paid for a month though!). Along with widgets and daily emails for gliding clubs.”
