What I learned

I learned a lot while building this app. I learned how to interact with remote API servers and how to populate the UI with incoming responses from servers. I have used a different API for tracking IP's than what was recommended by Frontend mentors. The API I used allows upto 10000 calls a month as opposed to only 1000 calls on the recommended one. Of course, I'm not sutisfied by this change for the API i used is less accurate when revealing locations.
