How to Contribute:

This was a weekend challenge to test my own development during week 5 of Makers Academy, an intensive 12 week coding bootcamp.

However i'd be delighted to receive any comments or hear of any ideas to take this forward.

If you'd like to do either, just leave a comment! :)

How to Use:

It's easy! Simply visit https://stark-peak-1974.herokuapp.com/ and signup to leave 'Peeps' for the world to read!

Or to test: download the repo and run 'rake' to run all tests, or 'cucumber'/'rspec' to test the feature/unit levels seperately.

Or to run on your own machine, simply download the repo and type 'rackup' in the root.
