Background

Like most people, I bookmark a tweet I find interesting and leave them to collect dust. I always thought to myself I will visit them again but I never did so I decided to force myself to.

I added some flair and features to make the app interesting. Displaying only your bookmarks is boring. I needed something to challenge myself and this was the perfect opportunity.

How I built it

With this app, I crossed one thing that has been haunting my Todos for a really long time. OAuth 2.0 and how to authenticate user with it and the Twitter API helped me with that.

Using MongoDB, I store the new shared bookmark in an shared collection and fetch it when needed.

I tried MongoDB Altas Search for the first time with the search feature for the shared bookmarks and it was perfect.
