Open Lab Time

Looking for ideas of things to add?

Front-end

• Remove the "Main Temp" and "Min Temp" that appear when the page is loaded
• Enhance the layout eg. add Bootstrap
• Cache the image icons, or better yet--serve up your own!
• Allow pressing Enter to submit form

Back-end

• Don't cache Errors from proxyed requests
• Add a DB Table (SQLite or even MySQL) to track trends or search stats
• Merge in results from a second API like PredictTheSky or Flickr
• Change [Lumen caching](lumen.laravel.com/docs/cache] to using memcached or Redis
• Add some application logging
• Add some additional metadata to the proxyed request that shows the date pulled or even cache hits
• Unit Tests for PassThrough (may need refactoring)
