jnthnon Ask HN: DarkSky Alternatives?

Windy is great as well and I have been using that as well for forecasting, but one thing that’s missing compared to the Rainviewer/DarkSky seems to be the “real time” alerts. Thats what I believe DarkSky never supported outside US/UK - doppler radar or whatnot based notifications that seemed to be its main selling point. Apple Weather doesn’t support next hour precipitation notifications either outside UK/Ireland and US: > Next-hour precipitation forecasts and precipitation notifications are available for Ireland, the United Kingdom, and the United States.

jnthnon Estonia – the Skype effect

Yes, in tech it's pretty safe to take English as the lingua franca here.

Connections - we do indeed have Ryanair and easyJet but not that many destinations. Tallinn Airport has a good list[1] of what's available directly.

Salaries - we at Teleport (with deep Skype roots as well) just launched a salary comparison tool[2] this week, hope it helps to get an overview of salaries but also costs.
