What you're going to make

Your mission: build a Twitter clone using Angular that consumes your sinatra api

User stories

• A user can create an account
• A user can login/logout from their account
• User passwords should be encrypted and stored in a password-hash field. You may implement this yourself or use the bcyrpt gem
• A user is directed to their profile page upon logging in
• A user can see their last 50 tweets on their profile
• A user can post a new tweet(no longer than 140 characters)
• A user can follow friends
• A user can be followed
• A user can navigate to view other users' profiles
• A user can see a list of who they follow
• A user can see a list of who follows them
• A user can see a "home" page which displays tweets from all users limited to 50 tweets

Bonus

• Add validation to the user model including password length and appropriately formated email
• Display appropriate error messages to the user for invalid data
• Unit tests to test your Sinatra routes
• Make it responsive and show off your design skills
