Ephemeral Journal App

This is a simple Node/Express app that uses the OpenWeatherMap API to access the current weather information for a given zip code and save it with a journal entry about the user's feelings. The entry is ephemeral--it will only display until you add a new entry or refresh the page!

Technologies: Node, Express, JavaScript, HTML, CSS, OpenWeatherMap API
