Wtf does this do

Frontendbr/vagas (vagas means "jobs" in Portuguese) is a Brazilian community job board for front-end developers, hosted entirely inside GitHub issues. Employers and recruiters post job openings by creating a new GitHub issue, and developers browse or search the open issues to find opportunities. It is maintained by the FrontendBR community and focuses exclusively on front-end development roles. The README (written in Portuguese) explains the rules for posting: the issue title must include the city in brackets, the job title, and the company name. Postings without a company name are not accepted, and companies may not post more than three openings per month. If a position is filled, the poster is asked to close the issue so candidates are not applying to stale listings. Job seekers can receive notifications of new postings by clicking "Watch" on the repository. New openings are also shared automatically on a Twitter/X account called @frontendbrvagas. The repo is part of a broader network of similar Brazilian developer job boards: there are companion repositories for back-end developers, chatbot developers, Web3, UI/UX, QA, and several specific technology stacks such as Android, iOS, PHP, Python, Vue.js, React, Flutter, and others, as well as regional boards for Portugal and Angola. The repository is licensed under MIT.
