Weather Journey

Weather Journey is more than just another weather app; it's a dynamic visualization tool designed to make weather forecasts come alive. Showcasing the power of AI to elevate basic applications, this app is a testament to the fusion of weather data, AI-powered prompts, and real-time image generation.

As an enthusiast and student of AI, mobile development, and cloud computing, this project offers an amalgamation of all these elements, serving as a personal exploration into their combined capabilities.

App Onboarding

Available on the App Store and Play Store

Technology Stack

  • Mobile App: Developed using Flutter (version 3.10).
  • Backend: NestJS powers the API, which interacts with ChatGPT for prompt generation and MidJourney through a Discord bot integration.
  • Hosting: Infrastructure hosted on Google Cloud Run.
  • Authentication & Data Storage: Firebase Auth for authentication and Firestore for data storage.

Features

  • Dynamic Weather Visualizations: See real-time weather forecasts as never before with AI-generated images tailored to each forecast.
  • AI-Powered: Leveraging the prowess of ChatGPT for textual prompts and MidJourney for generating imagery.
  • Multi-Platform: Available on both App Store and Play Store.

Automated Deployment

As you know my app is available on IOS and Android. So I have to deploy it on the App Store and Google Play Store. I use Fastlane to automate the deployment process. Because I want to learn more about the way to do it well, I started learning the Github Workflow and Github Actions. I have a dedicated workflow for the deployment of my app.

The Workflow

Basically I have 2 branches in my repository: -main : This is the branch where the current version of the app is available. It's the production branch. -develop : This is the branch where I work on the app. It's the development branch.

To start working on a new feature, I create a new branch from the develop branch. When the feature is done, I merge the branch into the develop branch. A Github Action is triggered when a new commit is pushed to the develop branch. This action will run the tests to ensure that the app is working well.

When I want to deploy a new version of the app, I have to create a new release on Github. I have a dedicated script to do it. This script will create a new tag with the version number by using a semantic versioning system, thanks to semver Github Action. Then it will create a new release with the tag. The Github Action will be triggered when a new release is created. This action will build the app and deploy it on the App Store and Google Play Store in BETA / INTERNAL TESTING mode.

After that a Pull Request is created to merge the release branch into the main branch. This PR will trigger a new Github Action to deploy the app on the App Store and Google Play Store in PRODUCTION mode.

You can find the Github Actions in the .github/workflows folder. And a documentation about the CI/CD Setup in the .github/cicd_setup.md file.
