## Overview

AltReaper is a console weather client: the user selects language and units, enters a city, views localized weather data, and can email it. The main workflow is explicit in `WetterApp.cs`; configuration, connectivity checks, and optional superuser retrieval are also visible in sampled source. The README is empty, and unsampled files limit certainty about resource contents and any additional behavior.

Main entry points: [`AltReaper/WetterApp.cs`](https://github.com/sebastianoehm/reaper/blob/revamp/AltReaper/WetterApp.cs) (Application flow), [`AltReaper/IO/Inputs.cs`](https://github.com/sebastianoehm/reaper/blob/revamp/AltReaper/IO/Inputs.cs) (Config prompts), [`AltReaper/Helper.cs`](https://github.com/sebastianoehm/reaper/blob/revamp/AltReaper/Helper.cs) (Email choice), [`AltReaper/IO/Outputs.cs`](https://github.com/sebastianoehm/reaper/blob/revamp/AltReaper/IO/Outputs.cs) (Email sender)
