- The creation of this app was driven using tests - rspec and capybara
- Makers sign up to chitter with their email, password, name and a user name (e.g. sam@makersacademy.com, s3cr3t, Samuel Russell Hampden Joseph, tansaku).
- The username and email are unique.
- Peeps (posts to chitter) have the name of the maker and their user handle.
- Use bcrypt to secure the passwords.
- Use data mapper and postgres to save the data.
- You don't have to be logged in to see the peeps.
- You only can peep if you are logged in.
- In order to start a conversation as a maker I want to reply to a peep from another maker.
