Description
Hi @shiffman!
I made an updated version of the weather application for module 3 that makes use of the node environment variables using `.env` and making use of a `config.js` file to take care of things like PORT and USERNAME and PASSWORD for adding a simple authentication layer - similar to using an API key. We can use the version without authentication, but just wanted to bring this to your attention in case this makes sense for you.

Research direction
Review the current weather application and compare it with the proposed with-authentication version at the linked repository. Start by examining its .env usage and config.js handling of PORT, USERNAME, and PASSWORD. Done would require a maintainer decision on whether this authentication approach belongs in Module 3 and, if accepted, clear integration requirements.
