This application allows users to create profiles and post content, called Dweeds (not to be confused with Tweets), on their walls
Users can follow other users and be followed by others. The user is provided with a news feed with updates from users they follow.
This all may sounds familiar, but we are definitely not Twitter.
Sign up and create a profile from our home page to start Dweeding! https://kavish-dwidder.herokuapp.com/
Not ready to sign up yet? You can view users and their dweeds from their profile page https://kavish-dwidder.herokuapp.com/users/{id}
Once you sign up, you are ready! Go to the home page, or your profile and create your first dweeds. The more you dweed, the more followers you attract. Dweeds you create show up on your news feed, and that of your followers. All your dweeds also show up on your profile.
Once you've created your profile, and are ready to follow others, you can visit the Users page, and view a list of currently signed up users. You can visit any of the pages and decide if you'd like to follow them. Once ready, you can simply click the Follow button on their profile. As soon as you do that, we update your feed with the dweeds of the person you just followed
This was my first attempt at a Ruby on Rails application. It is loosely based on Michael Hartl's tutorial for Ruby on Rails. The app is tested with 100% coverage using RSpec for unit testing and Capybara for integration and UI testing.
This is a work in progress. Current features include basic creation/updating profiles, dweeding, following other users. Future features include password resets, dweeding pictures, hashtags, searching for users and hashtags, and many more.
Remember, this app is not Twitter, so I wouldn't look for Justin Bieber here.
