ThouTubest

ThouTubest is a clone of the popular video sharing web app YouTube. The backend of ThouTubest was implemented using the Ruby on Rails framework with the ffmpeg library and Rails' new Active Storage feature being used to handle video processing and manipulation. The frontend was implemented using React.js and Redux.

The live version of ThouTubest can be found here.

Future Steps

• Implement user channel page that displays all of the videos associated with a given user.
• Implement video and channel search feature that allows a user to search for videos or channels in the navbar search bar.
• Implement the ability for signed-in users to like or dislike a video or comment.
• Enable users to subscribe or cancel subscriptions to a channel.
• Generate and display short video previews when hovering a thumbnail image.

thoutubest's Issues

Auth

Videos

Looks amazing! Love the "ad" for a/A!!!

1. You left a debugger somewhere that I hit.
2. When I was in the video show page for your video, and I logged out, nothing happened, didn't get redirected or anything. This may be implementation that you want, but maybe we should let the user know that they are successfully logged out.
   Will let you continue working on this Videos feature and give you more valuable feedback when we have more of a complete feature. Meaning, when we can upload, etc.
   I know you're still working on this feature, and this is your biggest resource, but you are making amazing progress. Keep it up.
