Bloccit
Just like Reddit, Bloccit is an app where people can post, vote on, share and save links and comments. Bloccit is a fully responsive, fully functional, rapidly developed MVP constructed to focus on back-end engineering.
Feature Set:
- As a public user, I am able to only view the content on Bloccit.
- As a member, I want to securely sign up for a free account by providing a name, email, and password. I also want to sign in and out of Bloccit.
- As a member, I want to create a post. Posts must be associated with a user and a topic.

- All posts within a topic should be ordered by a ranking algorithm. Every post must have an associated ranking value (hidden).
- As an admin, I want to be able to edit or delete comments, posts or entire Bloccit topics.
- As an admin, I want to be able to create site topics, the equivalent of sub-reddits.
- All registered users must have a role (member or admin.)
