If you're reading this as a developer you should probably find some time to go outside. This project was designed with the goal of helping shut-ins find the optimal time with their preferred weather to go outside to develop a healthy body. This project taught us how to utilize the Next.js framework, client and server components, and how to integrate a Vercel PostgreSQL database.
This project was built using the Next.js framework using Typescript (better for debugging vs JS), PostgreSQL for storing user time and weather preferences, and UI components from React Suite for ease of integration. The weather preferences were chosen based on the most common considerations for people wanting to go outside.
This project is hosted at https://sun-bather.vercel.app/. Click "Get Started" on the landing page to redirect to the home page. Go to the "Preferences" tab to enter your ideal outdoor weather (min/max temperature, intensity of sun, the presence of a breeze, and the presence of rain). Back at the "Home" tab, enter a CANADIAN CITY and click get weather then refresh to see if there is a recommended time to go outside based on your weather preferences!
We plan to incorporate the user's hourly availability for the day to determine whether or not a time can be recommended. We also want to implement a graphical representation of the weather conditions during a day.
