Maureen Dugan, Liz Tom, and Angela Yen
Building a Twitter clone to practice using Action Mailer and testing with Letter Opener. Project started by Maureen and Liz; second half, which focused on DRY code, refining testing, and relationships, completed by Angela and Maureen.
--
For today's project, let's make a clone of Twitter.
- Start off with user signups. When somebody signs up, send them a welcome email.
- Let users post tweets and delete their tweets.
- Then, if another user's handle is mentioned in the tweet using " @username ", send that user a notification email.
- Now, let users follow each other. Of course, notify somebody by email if when they are followed. Add pages showing who a user follows, and who follows them.
