#Link Board Lab

We are going to create a clone of hacker news. Hacker news is a reddit-style link board that allows users to post links which are upvoted by other users so the best links rise to the top.

For today we're going focus on Users and Posts only. The goal for tonight is to create an app that allows users to sign up, login, and add posts (no comments or voting yet).

##Models

####User

• email
• password_digest
• name

####Post

• user_id
