Instagif

A Rails web application that uses the GIPHY API.

Instagif allows users to generate gifs based on a word or phrase of their choice, which is then displayed on a public stream.

Setup

Download or clone repo, open the instagif folder and run bundle install.

Run rake db:migrate to create the databases, then run rails s and visit localhost:3000 on your browser to begin instagif-ing!

Note: you have to create an account and log in to be able to post gifs!
