Beta 2 of the Weather App is up. The UI got a real redesign: the
background is now a GIF that matches the weather condition based on the info that OpenWeathermap gave me: a sunny sky
for clear weather, falling rain for rainy cities, snow for cold ones,
lightning for storms, etc. Cards use glassmorphism (frosted glass) so the
GIF shows through while the text stays readable, with a dark overlay to
keep contrast.

Originally I called the Giphy API on every search and got a random GIF,
but the results were inconsistent, for example, once I searched London and got a
dancing water drop instead of actual rain. So I picked one fixed GIF per
weather type by hand and hardcoded them. Now it feels like you’re
actually looking at the sky of that city, same view every time.

Next version will add a 5-day forecast below the current weather.
