This project is a Ruby on Rails web application created for a Jr Software Engineer programming assignment. It lets registered users create posts and displays those posts for everyone. Users can also view and delete their own posts. The webpage is designed to be responsive to both mobile and desktop platforms.
Users have fields for a first name, last name, unique email, and password. Posts have fields for a title and body. Additionally, a post belongs to a user, who can have many posts. This relationship is represented in the diagram below. Lastly, the post's created_at timestamp is used to display when the post was written.
The Devise gem was used to implement user registration and authentication.
This application uses Ruby version 3.3.4.
