to create a javascript app based on node-twitter-api-v2 that monitors a list of users and sends a notification to discord when they have new followers, follow these steps:

1. first, make sure you have node.js installed on your machine. if not, download and install it from https://nodejs.org/.

2. in your project folder, create a new file named `package.json` with the following content:

```json
{
  "name": "twitter-follower-bot",
  "version": "1.0.0",
  "description": "a twitter bot that monitors and sends a discord notification when a user gets new followers",
  "scripts": {
    "start": "node index.js"
  },
  "dependencies": {
    "axios": "^0.25.0",
    "node-twitter-api-v2": "^1.7.0",
    "dotenv": "^10.0.0"
  },
  "author": "",
  "license": "isc",
  "private": true
}
```

3. run `npm install` in your terminal to install the necessary packages.

4. create a `.env` file to store your twitter and discord api credentials:

```
twitter_bearer_token=your_twitter_bearer_token
discord_webhook_url=https://discord.com/api/webhooks/your_webhook_id/your_webhook_token
```

replace `your_twitter_bearer_token`, `your_webhook_id`, and `your_webhook_token` with your corresponding credentials.

5. create a file `index.js` in your project folder and include the following code:

```javascript
const { twitterapi } = require('node-twitter-api-v2');
const dotenv = require('dotenv').config();
const axios = require('axios');

const bearertoken = process.env.twitter_bearer_token;
const discordwebhookurl = process.env.discord_webhook_url;

// list of twitter usernames that you want to track
const trackedusers = ['username1', 'username2', 'username3'];
const twitterclient = new twitterapi(bearertoken);
let previousfollowercounts = {};

const senddiscordnotification = async (message) => {
  try {
    await axios.post(discordwebhookurl, { content: message });
  } catch (error) {
    console.error('error sending discord notification: ', error);
  }
};

const checkfornewfollowers = async () => {
  for (const username of trackedusers) {
    try {
      const user = await twitterclient.v2.userbyusername(username);
      const currentfollowercount = user.data.public_metrics.followers_count;

      if (previousfollowercounts.hasownproperty(username)) {
        const difference = currentfollowercount - previousfollowercounts[username];

        if (difference > 0) {
          senddiscordnotification(`**@${username}** has gained **${difference}** new follower(s) 🎉`);
        }
      }

      previousfollowercounts[username] = currentfollowercount;
    } catch (error) {
      console.error(`error fetching user data for ${username}: `, error);
    }
  }
};

// start the monitoring
console.log('twitter follower bot started, monitoring:');
console.log(trackedusers.join(', '));
setinterval(checkfornewfollowers, 5 * 60 * 1000); // check every 5 minutes
```

6. replace the usernames in the `trackedusers` array with the usernames you want to track.

7. run the script with `npm start` and it will start monitoring the followers of users in the array and send a discord notification when there is a new follower.

note: this script checks for new followers every 5 minutes. you can change the interval by modifying the `setinterval` argument. keep in mind that twitter has api rate limits, so avoid setting the interval too low. check twitter's api documentation for the latest rate limits.
