Task

Build Instagram: Simple huh!

Your challenge is to build Instagram using Rails. You'll need users who can post pictures, write comments on pictures and like a picture. Style it like Instagram's website (or more awesome).

Bonus if you can add filters!

How to start

  1. Produce some stories, break them down into tasks, and estimate
  2. Fork this repo, clone, etc
  3. Initialize a new rails project

Remember to proceed in small steps! Getting confused? Make the steps even smaller.

Code Quality

For linting, you can use the .rubocop.yml in this repository (or your own!). You'll need these gems:

group :development, :test do
  gem 'rubocop', '1.20', require: false
  gem 'rubocop-rails'
end

You can also lint Javascript, CSS, and ERB — feel free to research this. These will help you to train yourself to produce cleaner code — and will often alert you to mistakes or mishaps!
