Background

The rise in NFT marketplace and evolution of discord servers around it, and the very nature of all this tech prioritizing people on the basis of their contribution gave me this idea

How I built it

I used MongoDB Atlas to create my own online database, where I can store all of my data
I have an authentication process which onboards users, and save there details on my DB, then later as per there contribution on there servers, they are given points, these points help them in participating in drops, here this list of participants selected for drop are on a different collection, from this collection we randomly select lucky winners with the help of weighted selection and get our luck winners

These lucky winners are then marked as won in the DB so that later they cant participate in next 3 drops, so as to allow other people to win too

TweetJOBS

TweetJOBS displays all the jobs posted on twitter and updates it in real time, you can search your skill in the search bar and VIOLA you will get the job post for the skill on twitter from where you can apply for it.

Technologies Used

Tech-Stack Used: Next.JS, twitter API and hazelbase for authentication.

Our Inspiration

This project was inspired from YellowJobs, which also uses twitter functions in the same way and provides user with job posts posted on twitter and helps them get jobs

So What Have We Done Basically:

We are using twitter API to search for jobs and use there URLs to generate embedded tweets of the same and render on our page/

We are using Hazelbase's authentication to provide faster and secure authentication to our user with the help of next-auth.

Our Search bar searches for the related query on twitter and brings you best required results

You can also save job posts for later, and can go trough them when you see fit.

This project not only highlights the power of twitter as social media but also the values of skill in today's modern day world.
