Job List

• In order to use Chitter as a maker I want to sign up to the service.
• In order to user Chitter as a maker I want to log in.
• In order to avoid others using my account as a maker I want to log out.
• In order to let people know what I am doing as a maker I want to post a message (cheep) to Chitter.
• In order to see what people have to say as a maker I want to see all cheeps in chronological order.

Improvements

• Users can reply to cheeps to start a conversation.
• Users can delete their cheeps / accounts.
• Refactoring the spec files.

Takeaway

• I learnt more about using databases to store users' information.
• I used this opportunity to experiment more with CSS and layouts.
