/PikchaGram

An Instagram-like app for storing photos and pictures. Built using Rails.

Primary LanguageRuby

A clone of Instagram with added features, e.g buying the photos.

Users can sign up, upload and sell their photos, which are identified by tags. They can search photos by keywords in the title through the search bar at the top. Images are stored in AWS and uploaded using Paperclip. Stripe is integrated to provide smooth transactions.
