What the project is?
SkyCast is a lightweight weather application that interacts with a public API to fetch weather data for any city entered by the user. It updates the UI dynamically with icons, temperature, and other stats.
Why I built this?
I wanted to practice API integration and build a functional UI from scratch to improve my JavaScript and DOM manipulation skills.
What problem it solves?
SkyCast provides a quick and easy way to check the weather, demonstrating how client-side apps can fetch and display external data without frameworks.
