Week 6 Challenge @ Makers Academy

Chatterbox - a twitter clone that will allow the users to post messages to a public stream. Hosted on Heroku @ http://fast-wave-2933.herokuapp.com/

Ruby Version

Ruby 2.1.2

Technologies used:

• Sinatra
• Postgres SQL and Datamapper ORM
• Bcrypt
• Rspec and Capybara for testing

Features:

• To use chatterBOX fully users must sign in
• Non registered users can view content but cannot contribute
• Users must log in to post (Hoot), reply (Hoot 'em back), and see all threads they are active in (Hootenannies)
• Users can log out at any time
• Users can post a Hoot to chatterBOX
• Hoots are arranged in chronological order of the first post.
• On the right hand side of a Hoot a user can see the number of Hoot 'em backs associated with the post and can add a new hoot 'em back'
• Each user can access their Hootenannies page that shows them all Hoots they have been active in (either Hoots or Hoot 'em backs')
• If a user forgets their password they can request for it to be reset through their registered email account
