Hack Overflow

This is Project One of GA. I tried to recreate a similar model to stack overflow (a multi-user blog). This is part of my Web Development Immersive 16 with General Assembly.

Background

• Have at least 3 models (more if they make sense) – one representing someone using your application, and one that represents the main functional idea for your app
• Include sign up/log in functionality, with encrypted passwords & an authorization flow
• Have complete RESTful routes for at least one of your resources with GET, POST, PUT, PATCH, and DELETE Utilize an ORM to create a database table structure and interact with your relationally-stored data
• Four models were created: Users, Questions, Comments and Tags.

How to view app

• Access it here: https://vast-earth-32647.herokuapp.com/login
• Clone / fork my repo: https://github.com/andybluey/project-zero

Technology Used

• Ruby on Rails
• Ruby
• HTML5
• CSS3
• Application mailer

Libraries / Plugins

• Skeleton CSS

Gems

• 'will_paginate', '~> 3.0.5'
• 'acts_as_votable', '~> 0.10.0'
• 'cloudinary'
• 'bcrypt', '~> 3.1.7'

Futcure Inclusions

• Add result limits to the loops given the fact a blog would grow over time.
• Control the deletion of existing users. The delete user functionality was initially added, but deleting a user also lost the content.
• Enhance the data and statistics already included in the app.
