React Weather App Weather Data

A small React weather app — async API fetching, hooks, responsive UI — built to solidify state-management patterns and `GET` request handling before the bigger Weather Shield project.

What I learned

This was the precursor to Weather Shield — a smaller, faster project to build muscle memory around async data, hooks, and responsive UI before tackling the bigger map-based version. The lesson: small focused projects are how you de-risk the big ones. By the time I started Weather Shield I’d already moved past “how do I fetch and display this” and could focus on the harder design problems.

What I did

  • Built a single-page React weather app fetching real-time conditions and forecasts via GET requests.
  • Designed a responsive UI for both desktop and mobile.
  • Practiced asynchronous data handling and error states across the fetch lifecycle.

What I shipped

A live React weather app at https://weather-app-tico.netlify.app — the practice run that made the Weather Shield build dramatically smoother.
