Background and Overview

Tumble is a social media app project inspired by Tumblr.

Technology

Tumble is implemented using Ruby on Rails on the backend, PostgreSQL database, and React / Redux on the frontend, to create a seamless single-page app experience. Users can make a variety of different content posts, follow other users, like and comment on posts, search tags, and more. Integrated with Amazon Web Services to store uploaded content.

Features

Create Posts

Create text, photo, video, audio, quote, link, and chat posts with tagging

Comments and Likes

Comment on posts and like your favorite posts

Search Functionality

Search tags for keywords to locate and discover specific posts faster

Search parameters utilize active record queries and are filtered in the backend for optimal performance

# posts_controller.rb
def index
    dashboard_posts = current_user.dashboard

    liked_posts = []
    current_user.likes.each do |like|
        liked_posts << Post.find(like.post_id)
    end

    all_posts = Post.all

    case 
        when params[:filter] =='dashboard'
            @posts = dashboard_posts
        when is_string_number?(params[:filter])
            user_id = params[:filter].to_i
            profile_user = User.find(user_id)
            user_posts = profile_user.posts
            @posts = user_posts
        when params[:filter] =='likes'
            @posts = liked_posts
        when params[:filter].present?
            search = params[:filter]
            @posts = Post.joins(:tags).where('tag_body LIKE ?', "%#{search}%")
        else
            @posts = all_posts
    end
