This pet project was inspired by the need for social-minded individuals to maximize the potential of beautiful sunsets in images on Instagram, Facebook, or interpersonal sharing.
This SPA allows a user to search for a location by City and Country name. Doing so accesses OpenWeatherMap API to retrieve the current weather for the location.
This web app is written in ReactJs using the standard Javascript flavor.
This web app uses the OpenWeatherMap API to retrieve the current weather for a given location.
The evaluation of the quality of a Sunset is highly opinioned and in this implementation, considers the following factors: wind speed, cloud coverage, air pollution, rainfall, and other factors.
The wind speed is one of more higher weighted factors that is effect the evaluation of the quality of a Sunset. The Beaufort scale is used to categorize the wind speed. A photographer may need to take many photos, and the wind's speed can drastically change the landscape
The cloud coverage is another important factor, since it adds variety and activity to the image. Here is where a measurable degree of opinionated evaluation is needed, for this reason, cloud coverage ranges where 0.45 < x < 0.65 are preferred.
secret.json is a file that contains the API key for the OpenWeatherMap API
export const API_KEY = "<your-api-key>";yarn install # install dependencies
yarn start # start the app
