Chitter is built using HTML, CSS, Ruby, Sinatra, Postgresql and DataMapper. Users must sign in with a unique username, and cannot sign up if their email address has already been registered.
Testing was done using Capybara and RSpec - to stop new users being created with each test, DatabaseCleaner is used to clear out the database at the beginning of each test.
