Project Overview at http://timrobertson0122.github.io/chitter-challenge/
Live on Heroku at https://chitter-challenge.herokuapp.com/
Brief:
To write a Twitter clone, Chitter, that allows registered, signed in users to post messages ('peeps'). These can be viewed by the public via a web application. The following user stories will be satisfied.
- Run site on local server:
$ rackup
- Run RSpec tests:
$ rspec
As a new user
So that I can post messages on Chitter as me
I want to sign up for Chitter
As a new user who loves their username
So that I know my username is shared with no others
I want the sign-up protocol to only allow me to use a unique username
As a user who is ready to peep
So that I can post messages on Chitter as me
I want to log in to Chitter
As a security conscious user
So that I can avoid others posting messages on Chitter as me
I want to log out of Chitter
As a security conscious user
So that others cannot log into my account
I want to validate the login process with a secret password
As a forgetful user
So that I can reset my password if I forget it
I want to be able to do so via a password recovery system
As a user with something to share
So that I can let people know what I am doing
I want to post a message (peep) to chitter
As a user who likes to keep up to date with others
So that I can see what others are saying
I want to see all peeps in reverse chronological order
As a user who likes to know who has said what
So that I can which peeps are attributed to which user
I want this information displayed alongside each peep
As a pedantic user
So that I can better appreciate the context of a peep
I want to see the time at which it was made
As a user without much time
So that I can see all peep info without having to be signed in
I want that to be displayed regardless of being signed in/out
- Written in Ruby, tested with Rspec and Capybara

- Mailgun API for email integration
- Served by Sinatra, HTML, CSS, Bootstrap for looks
