Dependant on #5

some sites may become invalid, for example right now JSConf Tahoe doesn't work http://www.tahoejs.com/events/2018/4/6/jsconf-tahoe

• Create a home page that lists all the lists
• Alternatively, have a view to upcoming conferences

Add facets using
https://www.algolia.com/

A bit overkill but it's free as long as we show their logo, so why not!

Right now conferences are fetch every time from the server. Take advantage of browser caching through web workers for instance.

• Have a re-captcha
• Use Github API to create pull requests

This might need a backend to communicate with. So the request would be sent to the backend, the backend would have a github bot account with the credentials hidden in env variables and would communicate to the API

• Create a twitter account
• Have a backend that checks the new conferences on a regular basis (or connect to github?)
• Create multiple tweet template
• On a regular basis, tweet all the new conferences that have been added to Confs.tech

Based on a conference URL:

• check if it's duplicate
• Pull out all the data from the website

• As a user, I can upvote a conference
• This would store the counts on a database
• As a user I can see how popular a conference is
