Inspiration

The inspiration came from the trouble of job searching. I hated having to look through hundreds of useless job postings that weren't even relevant to what I wanted to search

How we built it

We used the assistance of a free Claude browser account to build the front end React app and we used the assistance of Gemini to build the back end to call the JSearch API using express.js . Additionally I had to sign up for the basic plan for JSearch job searching API.

Challenges we ran into

We had trouble getting the API to call correctly, the first 10 attempts all we would get was errors when we attempted to search for jobs, but after a lot of bug fixing, and fixing stupid bugs like being 1 character off from the API key

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We're proud of how functional our site is, it actually intelligently filters jobs and it works for any job anywhere.

What we learned

We learned a lot about full integration and fixing problems quickly. This is our first experience having to integrate an entire website in a 3 hour timeframe.
