Chitter Challenge

Makers weekend challenge 4.

Task:

Create a little Twitter clone that will allow the users to post messages to a public stream.

Features:

As a Maker
So that I can post messages on Chitter as me
I want to sign up for Chitter

As a Maker
So that I can post messages on Chitter as me
I want to log in to Chitter

As a Maker
So that I can avoid others posting messages on Chitter as me
I want to log out of Chitter

As a Maker
So that I can let people know what I am doing  
I want to post a message (peep) to chitter

As a maker
So that I can see what others are saying  
I want to see all peeps in reverse chronological order

As a maker
So that I can better appreciate the context of a peep
I want to see the time at which it was made

Notes on functionality:

  • 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 username of the maker and the time of the post.
  • Bcrypt is used to secure the passwords.
  • Data mapper and postgres are used 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.
  • A user can reset their password (functionality not fully implemented - reset token is generated but not currently emailed to user)
