Tweet Extractor

A simple MERN app that extracts tweets of Naval Ravikant (Actually taken from NavalBot twitter acount to get better tweets) from the Twitter API. It fetches the top 2 tweets from NavalBot twitter timeline and the top 200 (more added when new tweets are posted) are saved in my Atlas MongoDB database to increase speed.
