The Abh Nation

Test Coverage Note

I am currently working on improving test coverage for the app. Some of the admin functions are still not covered as I was not sure how to write tests for them before I developed them. My goal is to reach 100% coverage of existing features before I implement additional features such as galleries and search.

The Abh Nation (refreshed version)

This project is a refreshed version of The Abh Nation (new version) built on Ruby on Rails with a modern responsive design. It features all the functionality that one would expect from a content management system, including the ability to create new content, organize content categorically, and manage users from a dedicated administrative panel. I will be continuing development into the foreseeable future.

About The Abh Nation (original)

The Abh Nation (original version) is the world's premier fan site for the anime series Crest of the Stars. It originally launched October 2nd, 2004, though it had it's roots as NationSufugnoff, which first launched in January, 2003. All previous iterations of NationSafugnoff are still viewable through the National Archives of The Abh Nation.

Current Status

The site is currently live on Heroku.

Currently implemented features:

• 1. Users can register, log in, edit their profile, and log out.
• 2. Users can view content that.
• 3. Admins can create, edit, or delete content.

Additional features will be added to this list as they are implemented.
