Acebook is a basic clone of a well known social media app. There are three repos to this project.
Full stack Rails app
Back end Rails API
Front end React app
We first built Acebook as a full stack Rails app, before splitting it into front end and back end.
This is the full stack Rails app.
First, clone this repository. Then:
> bundle install
> bin/rails db:create
> bin/rails db:migrate
> bundle exec rspec # Run the tests to ensure it works
> bin/rails server # Start the server at localhost:3000- Sign up

Primary goal: Develop good team-working processes.
Secondary goals: Be able to build and explain what's happening in a rails app. Understanding and implementing deployment on Heroku. Understanding databases and ORMs. Continuous integration, via Travis CI.
Strategies: Code quality over features. Equal contribution. Making sure every issue has it's own branch. Clear commit messages and pull requests. Rotate leading stand-ups. Popcorn size tickets. Regular pair rotation.
