An open source rails app for reviewing fancy coffee. See it live.
| What | Why |
|---|---|
| Rails | It's quick to build with, and Ruby is awesome. |
| MongoDB w/ Mongoid | It's quick to build with, good for lots of JSON blob data, and fun. |
| Angular.js | It makes client side rendering fun! This app does quite a bit of client side rendering. |
| d3.js | Awesome visualization library that is used for all the graphs. |
| _.js | Makes my JSON manipulations (and more!) pleasant so that I can do more on the client. |
| Bootstrap | Because I'm not a designer. |
| ActiveModel::Serializer | Passing in options and overriding the rails json methods gets tedious and annoying. |
| HAML | Terse, clean, and infinitely better than ERB. |
| CoffeeScript | reason = -> "Because of this." |
First of all, make sure to click the first link and create an account on the site so that you can see everything.
| Link | Why |
|---|---|
| home#index | The homepage. Take a look, and click "Sign up" so that you can see the other pages. |
| roasters#show | The roasters#show is rendered completely client-side. You can see all the coffee from this roaster, some info, and the top coffees. Click one of the "details" buttons and you'll see the location where the coffee was grown, the d3 generated taste profile based on ratings, and a description. |
| rankings#index | More client-side rendering. A d3 graph for each of your tastings. |
| rankings#new | The way to actually review coffee. Some sliders to rate the coffee and a place to take some notes. The sliders create the data that is used for the d3 graphs. It's a little annoying to have to go to a new page to create a new coffee if you haven't tasted this one before, but a better system will have to wait. |
- Make sure you have a mongo server running.
- Make sure to use Ruby 1.9.3 (even 1.9.2 won't work)
- Have fun!
