This is a hacky project that went out of scope, don't use it for production purposes
This application uses scraped data off of Waterloo Works (A job application site) to provide a more user-friendly experience that allows for real-time search, filtering, saving/exporting, and the ability to see job descriptions without navigating to another page (which you think would be a given, but apparently not).
The statically-hosted webpage is available on GitHub, and uses strictly client-side data and has no authentication. The data available here pulls from frontend/data/wwdata.json.
The frontend can also run locally via Docker or any static web server (such as Nginx, VSCode Live Server, etc). Clone the repository, and run docker compose up frontend in the root directory. The site will be available at localhost:8080.
The scraper can be run with npm run scrape && npm run clean. Be sure to set environment variables and initialize a data file first
