Welcome Muskrats!
This project is a parody, poking fun at Elon Musk's suggestion that he would permaban everyone from Twitter who was impersonating him.
The project is mostly straight forward. You can only be Elon Musk - as if you're one of the many people with verified status on Twitter who are or have been acting as a parody of his account.
Your only uniqueness is a slightly randomly generated avatar (I've only pushed up a few), and an auto increment counter after your name (similar to Discord).
Some features don't work yet. Maybe they'll work soon. Maybe not.
The project is built on Next.js 13 and Tailwind. I have no idea what I'm doing with either tech. 50/50 I've leaked a secret and someones going to charge me a lot of money. Feel free to contribute.
No this project does not use MangoDB, but it probably should.
Thank you...
- the Next and Vercel teams for building tech that made this (mostly) easy to ship
- the Planetscale team for letting me avoid a multi-hour GCP rabbit hole
- a bunch of folks for building their own example Twitter apps
- the Tailwind team, though I have to say I dont know how y'all deal w/ this
- (probably some others, definitely a dozen Stack Overflow contributors)
- ..and most important, Elon Musk, for providing us entertainment
