Hey DEV community! I'm currently a beginner-intermediate developer learning software engineering, and I wanted to start documenting my builds. Right now, I am constructing a responsive weather app using HTML, CSS, and Vanilla JavaScript.
I'm integrating the OpenWeatherMap API to fetch live weather data. For this project, I'm focusing on browser-native data fetching using the JavaScript fetch API and mastering the flow of async/await functions so my app requests payloads securely without freezing the user interface.
I’m currently tackling a few logic roadblocks regarding temperature metric formatting (getting it to output Celsius smoothly instead of Kelvin), but I'm building it all under a strict 2-hour daily hardware constraint. I'll drop the full repository link and a complete code tutorial once the UI elements are finalized. If you have any tips for handling deep JSON objects from OpenWeatherMap, drop them in the comments! I also welcome any and all questions.

Progress is quite slow, but I hope to get it done eventually
