I want to see all peeps in reverse chronological order

Notes on functionality:

• 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. [e-mail], 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

Bonus:

If you have time you can implement the following:

• In order to start a conversation as a maker I want to reply to a peep from another maker.

And/Or:

• Work on the css to make it look good (we all like beautiful things).

Good luck and let the chitter begin!
