MultiVerse is a web application for collaborative poetry writing (based on the "Exquisite Corpse" method) built using Ruby on Rails and React.js.
MultiVerse allows users to:
- Create an account
- Log in / Log out
- Create and read poems
- Contribute stanzas to poems
- Favorite completed poems
- BCrypt authentication and sessions
- Login page and basic home page after login (empty container, temporary logout button)
- Rails models for Poems, Stanzas
- API controllers for Poems, Stanzas
At the end of Phase 1, users can sign up and login/logout.
When a Poem is created, it uses the contents of the "first_stanza" param to
create a new Stanza object.
Poems and Stanzas cannot be edited after creation.
