5 hour coding hackathon

Hi, developers, we often get confused about which platform should I use to get our next job, I have the solution, watch the video till the end

So, last Sunday, I have the idea to create a dedicated page to search for job portals around the world. I come up with a solution called FindJobsPortals -A platform to refer all kinds of portals that can help you to get your next job.

Since I didn’t have much time so I’ve decided to take this project into a hackathon, a 5 hours hackathon.

Heres how I did my 5 hours coding hackathon

  • First I jot down the extensive list of 40-50 portals around the world
  • Followed by pushing the entire collection into the Supabase database
  • Then I create a frontend repository using Next.js
  • Now we need some data to show the jobs portals which I fetch from the supabase database using the npm module
  • Lastly, I render the list in one table containing the link name and domain of the portals.

Some showoffs

The current image you are seeing is the upgraded version of the website. In the last few days, I’ve used this URL-metadata npm module to scrap the meta tags from all portals such as description, icon, image, keywords, Twitter and so on.

The tech stack I’ve used

  • Next.js as a frontend framework
  • Supabase as Database
  • Mantine.dev as UI library
  • Tailwind CSS as a styling library
  • Vercel for hosting
  • Github as version control

It’s quite a good project to learn different tech stacks as well as to test your idea in the market, I’ve also launched the product on a product hunt to get the people’s opinion and it was quite good.

Conclusion

It's quite a simple process how to start with the project.
