Weather web app

Inspiration

I wanted to take what I knew about web development, albeit very little, and take it to the next step. This hackathon, I set out to learn how to make a really simple weather web app.

What it does

The site takes a location from the user, sends an API request to Open Weather Maps, then POSTS formatted information from the returned JSON file.

What we learned

I learned more about HTML and CSS, and I also learned more about JS and the node.js framework.

What's next for Weather web app

I would like to upgrade APIs and make a hyperlocal weather app that gives minute by minute forecasts. Another feature I want to add is for the website to have programmed quips about the weather, to give the site some personality and brighten the user's day. (i.e. "Ugh. Raining again.")
