Notes on functionality:

  • Drive the creation of your app using tests - either cucumber or rspec as you prefer
  • 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.
  • Please ensure that you update your README to indicate the technologies used, and give instructions on how to install and run the tests
  • Finally submit a pull request before Monday at 9am with your solution or partial solution. However much or little amount of code you wrote please please please submit a pull request before Monday at 9am

Bonus:

  • In order to start a conversation as a maker I want to reply to a peep from another maker.
  • Work on the css to make it look good (we all like beautiful things).
