FULGUR
Fulgur Weather
The first project presented in this portfolio is Fulgur. I chose the name of the application (Fulgur) from the Latin translation of the word “thunder”. The application is written in C# and was a project with focus on learning .NET and API communication.
About
The application makes it possible to look up a place name in all the world’s languages and retrieve updated weather data. An authentication system is also implemented, so a user can save favourites and watch their search history. Users can also choose not to log in if they only want weather data.
How to run
To run the program, you need to select BlazorApp_GUI, APICommunication, BackgroundService, and Grpcserver as startup projects.

API Communication
The application communicates with the public APIs provided by “openweathermap” and processes the data to make it more structured and comprehensible for the rest of the system through endpoints. It also includes endpoints for storing and retrieving data related to favourites and search history.
