Challenge:

Write a little Twitter clone that will allow the users to post messages to a public stream.

Features:

As a Maker So that I can post messages on Chitter as me I want to sign up for Chitter

As a Maker So that I can post messages on Chitter as me I want to log in to Chitter

As a Maker So that I can avoid others posting messages on Chitter as me I want to log out of Chitter

As a Maker So that I can let people know what I am doing
I want to post a message (peep) to chitter

As a maker So that I can see what others are saying
I want to see all peeps in reverse chronological order

As a maker So that I can better appreciate the context of a peep I want to see the time at which it was made

Notes on functionality:

This is a web application that is designed to be a replica of twitter. A user can register, view 'peeps' (equivalent of 'tweets'), log_in, write their own 'peeps' and log_out. When users register, their password is encrypted and all information is stored on the database. Peeps are displayed in reverse chronological order and with the time they were submitted.

Installation and example use:

$ git clone https://github.com/douglasrose/chitter-challenge.git $ cd chitter-challenge $ bundle install $ ruby app/app.rb

navigate to http://localhost:4567/ on browser.

Notes on test coverage

Please ensure you have the following AT THE TOP of your spec_helper.rb in order to have test coverage stats generated on your pull request:

require 'coveralls'
require 'simplecov'

SimpleCov.formatters = [
  SimpleCov::Formatter::HTMLFormatter,
  Coveralls::SimpleCov::Formatter
]
Coveralls.wear!

You can see your test coverage when you submit a pull request, and you can also get a summary locally by running:

$ coveralls report

This repo works with Coveralls to calculate test coverage statistics on each pull request.
