Welcome to Flipper!

Flipper is an early-stage attempt at merging my passion for coding and my captivating hobby, photography. It was intended as a Flickr clone and was developed as a weekend project to get familiar with Ruby on Rails.

Stack

• Ruby
• Rails
• RSpec
• Devise
• Sqlite3

Forking

• Make sure you have Rails installed.
• Fork & clone the repo.
• Run bundle install
• Migrate the database
  • rails db:migrate to migrate the development database and rails db:migrate RAILS_ENV=test if you are want to run the tests with rspec
• Fire up the server using rails server

Features

• User gets greeted by a homepage

• User can see a list of posts by previous users

• User can add a new post with Photo and short Description

• Users can create, review, update and delete posts (CRUD)

• Posts can have comments, which are displayed in reverse chronological order and include User who posted the comment, Body and Created_at

## Approach

• Diagrammed the MVC and made sure to structure classes/models before starting to write the code.
• Rigurously followed TDD/BDD to implement new features.
• Ran into migration issues which forced me to revert to previous commits, thus solving merge conflicts by unleashing the full power of Git version control!!
• Unfortunately, the aforementioned migration issues took a while to fix and prevented me from adding features that I would have loved to have as a part of MVP v2

To be added

• Linking Users to their posts and preventing other users from deleting Posts that aren't theirs.
• Flash, a feature based on Medium-claps but linked to Users.
• Index of Users who have flashed a Post
• Filters for the Photos
