Weather

Weather app.

Bonus

Here are new features that I thought would add value to the app:

• Locate the user and give the weather according to their position.
• Possibility to choose the degree type between C and F.
• Save favorite locations so that the user doesn't have to type the location everytime.

Notes

Here are some code improvements that could be made:

• Add placeholders for the images.
• Cover more tests.
• Handle network errors in a more specific way. (ex: log the network errors)
• Extract common Dp values into a separate file for reusability

Architecture

I applied Clean Architecture (in the Uncle Bob sense) and chose to have a single 'app' module to keep things simple, but I've split the packages in a way I would if it was a multi-module project by feature. I have these packages for this single feature app:

• data
• domain
• presentation
• di
