Angular Weather App is a Progressive Web Application (PWA) to get weather forecast.
Progressive Web Apps are web apps that use emerging web browser APIs and features along with traditional progressive enhancement strategy to bring a > native app-like user experience to cross-platform web applications.
Progressive Web Apps are built and enhanced with modern APIs to deliver enhanced capabilities, reliability, and installability while reaching anyone, anywhere, on any device with a single codebase.

A location module where the users can add their favorite places and be able to see a detail of the weather forecast for each place on the same page.
A map module where the users can see a snapshot of the radar map showing information such as rain, snow, storm, etc.
A settings module where the users can store their preferred location, temperature unit, etc.
I skipped writing test for this project.
Not all components have properly defined aria attributes, visual focus indicators, etc.
