Step 7: Next
Ideas for going further.
What You Built
A fully functional weather app that fetches live data, shows current conditions and a forecast, handles errors, and lives on the web.
Keep Going
Here are some ideas to extend your project:
More data:
- Add humidity, wind speed, UV index
- Show hourly forecast for today
- Add a weather map or radar
Better UX:
- Save recent searches
- Auto-detect location using the browser’s geolocation API
- Add weather-based backgrounds (sunny = warm gradient, rain = gray)
More platforms:
- Turn it into a Progressive Web App (PWA) that works offline
- Build a macOS menu bar version with ColorDrop’s approach
- Create an iOS version with SwiftUI
What You Learned in This Project
