  • upon loading the page, your browser will prompt you for your location via the browser's Geolocation API. If you accept, it will automatically load the information for your current city
  • a search bar at the top that allows you to select a city
    • this will display a results list populated by a list of cities provided by the GeoDB Cities API
  • once you select a city, the main page will be updated to reflect the following information about the city:
    • local time and date (time zone offset is provided by OpenWeather API, then calculated in the frontend)
    • current weather (from OpenWeather API)
    • background image will be set to the first google image search result for that city (Google Custom Search Engine API)
