Ruby on Rails Capstone Project: Redesign of Twitter

In this project I built a Job hint application based on a redesign of Twitter.

Some of the advanced concepts explored in this project includes.

• Working with advanced associations, many-to-many relationships, a typical twitter follow and follower relationship model.
• Basic Authentication using just username
• Used RSpec as the test suit with the help of shoulda-matchers and capybara for effective testing. Both unit and integration testing was done.
• Used paperclip gem to achieve image upload for profile photo and cover image

Built With

• Ruby v2.6.5
• Ruby on Rails v6.0.3.2
• RSpec
• Bootstrap ~4.0
