- What technologies were used to create your app? Node.js, Express, Angular.js, C3.js and Bootstrap.
- What motivated you to create this application and what problems does it solve? I wanted to create a weather application that I would use. Elements is a simple solution to ugly weather GUIs. It only contains basic or minimal weather data in a clean, easy to understand format.
