This project was a magazine written in simple language for Japanese learners of English, but now I use it primarily for my web development portfolio. I made it using Rails.
- Ruby on Rails!
- Coffeescript! peek the code
- From scratch sassy styling! peek the code
- Decorator pattern! peek the code
- All illustrations were drawn by me!
This was my first Rails app, so there are some weird design decisions in there. For example, I use a has_many relation to describe tags in article. Of course, now I would use a has_many :through on a join table for something like that.
Also, I'm detecting the user agent to deliver a mobile specific stylsheet manifest to mobile users. That's something I don't think I ever want to do again.
Although there are some flaws, I have spruced up this app recently, so I think it represents my work pretty well. The code is readable and well organized. Check it out!
