Spacebird

The very first public Twitter Spaces search engine.

Helping the early adopters of Twitter Spaces to explore active and scheduled Twitter spaces.

The problem

For several months after Twitter released Spaces, their live audio chatroom product, there was no way to search for them. Either active ones or scheduled.

The goal

Spacebird was created to bridge the gap of what Twitter was seeminly slow to roll out: a way to search and find specific topic based Twitter Spaces.

Tech stack

• Vue.js - frontend framework
• TailwindCSS - CSS tooling and designing
• Elasticsearch - as a scalable search database to cache the Twitter API calls (to prevent reaching the very low rate limit)
• Node/Express API - RESTful API to communicate between the Twitter API and the Elasticsearch database
