This is the second project during the General Assembly Software Engineering Immersive course (Week 6). The project was a collaboration between Jenny Judova and Felicia Hjertman as part of a two-day long “Reactathon”.
This is a ‘Start My Day’ style app where the user inputs their location. After which they are taken to a page that shows them the local weather, local news, and a quote of the day. If the location is London they are also shown the tube updates.

The project lasted 2 days. We wanted to build something useful with an API that did not require authentication and that left room for creativity. After a brainstorming session we settled on a Weather app, which was later expanded to include news and random fact.
The MVP We decided that the MVP of a wether app has to:
- accept user input of location on the home page
- show the minimum and the max temperature for the day in their city
- as well as the description of the weather together with a gif of an animal to cheer them up
MVP + As the MVP was completed we expanded the weather app to become a ’Start your day’ style apple added the following API’s to the app
- News API
- Quote of the Day API
- TFL API (only for London)
