 ===== Exploring core functionality =====
-The Sweater app's structural needs, at least for now, are sufficiently modest that we should consider using just plain-old HTML/CSS/JS. In this next section, I will try to develop a basic app structure and implement data-handling using plain old JS. If nothing else, this will give us a better understanding of the problem and where various libraries might be helpful or required.
+The Sweater app's structural needs, at least for now, are quite modest. That makes it a good candidate for using just plain-old HTML/CSS/JS for the app's structure. In this next section, I will try to develop a basic app structure and implement data-handling using plain-old JS. If nothing else, this will give us a better understanding of the problem and where various libraries might be helpful.
-If this turns out to be a manageable situation, we can then bring in the [[design]] specifications for the UI and functionality.

 ==== The HTML ====
-Because the [[design]] specification for the app may still be in flux, the focus of the current work will be limited to getting the needed data from a data source and letting it update the UI. I start out with a very plain, text-only HTML page that has only enough markup in it to let me modify some fields with JS. The determination of outerwear will require the knowledge of the current "feels-like" temperature, the wind speed, the expectation of precipitation, and what kind. Fields for each of these are included in this bare-bones HTML. We may not yet know how these data will translate to recommended outerwear, but we can be pretty confident that the determination will be based on these data.
