Huntdora

What is it

Searching for a job can be tough and demoralising. Huntdora is a job searching app which focuses on uplifting the job seeker through design and user experience, as well as through its utility.

Huntdora is a fully responsive Progressive Web App (PWA) and it allows the user to search for real jobs in the UK using various filters. It achieves this by connecting to a Job API for the data.

At the moment, the user can save the jobs they're interested in and apply to them. The app stores the choices of the authenticated user in a mongoDB database, so that the preferences can be accessed from anywhere.
