Umang Galaiya's advance search page is easy to use and needs no maintenance

It was a lazy weekend in mid-April, when software engineer Umang Galaiya was scrolling through his Twitter feed. It was when he came across a tweet that asked if someone could write a software program that would pull all tweets pertaining to verified Covid-19 resources and put them together on a website. “It was a time when out of 10 tweets on anyone’s timeline, seven were asking for or providing Covid-19 resources,” says Galaiya. He replied to the tweet, saying it didn’t need the creation of a new website and the resources could be looped back to Twitter itself, like an advanced search, avoiding the extra step of going to a new website and then back to Twitter.
