  • REST API
  • Git

Challenges

  1. I faced a dilemma with one of the endpoints of my weather app. There was no explanation as to why the app was unable to retrieve weather forecasts for more than 2 days. My initial intention was to provide a 7-day weather forecast, but I had to settle for only 2 days.

  2. Another challenge was related to design. I acted as the UX/UI designer for my project as well and faced a dilemma regarding the color scheme of the app. I wanted something simple but readable. I aimed for a white font color, which made finding a suitable background challenging.

Features to Implement

  1. Hourly forecast feature.
  2. Report an issue feature.
  3. Open in maps feature.

How to Run

To run this project, please execute npm start in the root directory.
