#AngularMessages - Rails/Angular Project

This Flatiron Learn.co final project uses Rails to create a backend API that is consumed by an AngularJS front-end. The main idea of the app is re-capture some of the experience of sending a physical note or letter -- an anticipated but ultimately unknown exact delivery date, the inability to respond immediately -- in an electronic messaging service.

This project uses several off-the-shelf resources including Angular Bootstrap Components, Angular UI Router, Devise and SearchKick among others.
