Social assistant - my first full stack project

The idea

Most of the apps, made to show the number of unfollowers on Twitter, I tried were performing too slow because of server-side rendering, or the UI was not optimized for mobile.

That's why I decided to build a new app to perform this task.

Live demo: https://sa.ekrzeptowski.pl

Tech stack

Social assistant is built using MERN stack:

  • MongoDB
  • ExpressJS
  • React
  • Node.js

Frontend

The frontend side of the Social assistant is licensed under the MIT license and was written using Gatsby.js.
