Project Description

Weather-Journal App is a web-based weather application that uses OpenWeatherMap's Weather API to get the weather data based on the entered Zip Code. NOTE: For now it's for US only.
In addition to fetching the weather data, it also takes some feedback from the user and stores it in a NodeJs server endpoint to retrieve it later and dynamically display it to the user.
