Project by Thales Neves
Created with Ruby On Rails.
Surfriends is a twitter like social media web app with the porpuse of finding new surf friends and share ideas about surfing.
I created the basic features of a social media app.
Each user has a profile with proper authentication with email and password for login and logout, users can also upload his profile picture and also edit all information at any time. The profile also stores and show stats of the user.
The User also can access other users profile to check their stats, posts and follow them.
The main features of the page it's the Posts and Feed.
Each user can create Posts to share his thoughts to other users, the user can delete his own posts at any time.
The Feed shows all other users posts also in order of creation in the Home Page.
Like any social media I implemented a way to create a connection with other users by follow and unfollow feature. After following another user, his posts will appear now in your feed. The user can also unfollow the user at anytime.
In each user profile there is also a link to the list of the people he is following and his followers.
A list of users that you're not following yet will appear in your home page as suggestion for you to follow them.
When visiting other user profile, also it shows a list of the users that are following him.
- MVC architecture pattern
- Active Record as ORM, validations and associations
- Active Storage for uploading and manage images
- Test Driven Development with Rspec and Capybara
- RESTful routes
