Title: Weatherly
By Jerry Sun (James Ruse AHS)
Weatherly is a desktop application made for Windows users to view the upcoming weather forecast. It offers a simplistic GUI design, and comes with dynamic location services, meaning that it is able to get the weather forecast directly based on your location.

To make this weather application, a desktop framework was used, namely Electron.JS. Electron.JS is an open-source framework which allows for native applications to be created with only HTML, CSS and Javascript. Hence this uses web technologies that are rendered using a version of the Chromium browser engine and a back end using the Node.js runtime environment. To access the weather data, an API connection was created by calling a server-based database (openweathermap). This API call returns the weather data to the application and thus displayed. The dynamic location services implemented utilises active geolocation technology by converting the public IP address of the user into an approximate location.

As a result, this weather application is highly successful, as it is compatible with a large variety of users and does not rely on one certain location. The dynamic location services allow for users all around the globe to utilise this application. However, one limitation is that this application is only compatible with users who have internet access.

In conclusion, Weatherly is a simplistic yet useful application which allows for Windows users to view upcoming weather forecasts.
