Drive the creation of your app using tests - either cucumber or rspec as you prefer
Makers sign up to chitter with their email, password, name and a user name (e.g. sam@makersacademy.com, s3cr3t, Samuel Russell Hampden Joseph, tansaku).
The username and email are unique.
Peeps (posts to chitter) have the name of the maker and their user handle.
Use bcrypt to secure the passwords.
Use data mapper and postgres to save the data.
You don't have to be logged in to see the peeps.
You only can peep if you are logged in.
Please ensure that you update your README to indicate the technologies used, and give instructions on how to install and run the tests
Finally submit a pull request before Monday at 9am with your solution or partial solution. However much or little amount of code you wrote please please please submit a pull request before Monday at 9am

Notes on test coverage

Please ensure you have the following AT THE TOP of your spec_helper.rb in order to have test coverage stats generated on your pull request:

require 'coveralls'
require 'simplecov'

SimpleCov.formatters = [
  SimpleCov::Formatter::HTMLFormatter,
  Coveralls::SimpleCov::Formatter
]
Coveralls.wear!

Note that you can replace Coveralls.wear! with SimpleCov.start to get coverage stats locally Then run open coverage/index.html from the command line to view details
