Why would anyone build with this?

REASON 1

Check real-time currency exchange rates in the browser without an API key.

REASON 2

Use as a reference project for building a React app with debounced API calls.

REASON 3

Learn how to manage form state with React's useReducer hook.

REASON 4

Swap between two currencies quickly with a single button click.

No API key required since it uses the free Frankfurter exchange rate API.

Wtf does this do

Despite the repository name "weatherapp," the README describes a currency converter web application. It is a responsive single-page app built with React and Vite (a fast JavaScript build tool) that shows real-time exchange rates between currencies. It uses the Frankfurter API, which requires no API key, to fetch current rates. Features include a swap button to flip the two currencies, a dark mode design with glass-like visual effects, and debounced API calls (meaning it waits briefly after you stop typing before fetching, to avoid excessive requests). State is managed with React's useReducer hook. You would use this as a quick browser-based tool to check currency conversions without signing up for any service.
