What is awether?

Awether is a currency converter web application that displays real-time exchange rates between currencies. Despite the repository name suggesting a weather app, the README describes it as a currency conversion tool. It fetches up-to-date exchange rate data from the Frankfurter API, a free, publicly accessible service that does not require an API key, so users always see current conversion rates rather than outdated cached values. The app lets users type an amount, select a source currency and a target currency, and immediately see the converted value. A swap button with animation lets you quickly reverse the conversion direction. The interface uses a dark mode design with glassmorphism effects, a semi-transparent frosted glass visual style. It is fully responsive, meaning it adjusts its layout to work on phones, tablets, and desktop screens. On the technical side, the app is built with React, a popular JavaScript library for building web interfaces, and Vite, a fast development build tool. It uses a pattern called debouncing, waiting briefly after the user stops typing before sending an API request, to avoid sending too many requests while someone is still typing a number. State management, tracking what the app remembers between interactions, is handled with React's built-in useReducer pattern. You would use this if you need a quick currency conversion in a browser, or as a developer if you want a clean reference example of a React app with real-time API calls, responsive design, and a modular component structure.
