Real-time Weather Explorer
React Web Application
A web application designed to quickly check current weather conditions across multiple locations worldwide. Users can select a country and search for a specific city to retrieve real-time weather data through an external API.
Role: Frontend Developer
Stack: HTML · CSS · TypeScript · Zustand · Weather API
Focus: API integration, state management, and responsive UI development.
Project Overview
This project is a lightweight web application that allows users to check real-time weather conditions for cities around the world. The app connects to a weather API to retrieve live data based on user input, combining a simple interface with efficient state management and API integration.
Codebase Overview
The codebase follows a modular structure that separates data fetching, state management, and UI rendering. This improves maintainability while keeping the application scalable and easy to extend.
