Post-it!

Like that other forum site, but with a cleaner UI.

While the app itself has a simple and clean UI, it has a fair amount of complexity under the hood. Please feel free to create a user account, and share a link or comment, and vote on other posts and comments!

Users can upvote/down posts, and add comments.
Categories allow users to filter content by interest.
Comments can be voted up/down, too.
Validations prevent unauthorized logins.
Anyone can register for a unique account.
A new user has just registered.
Adding a comment to another post.
Checking the User dropdown menu.
Each user has an editable user profile.
The user profile shows all posts and comments that the user has created.

I learned several fundamental aspects of Rails development, by implementing the following features:

  • Ruby 2 and Rails 4
  • Model-backed forms
  • Using Ajax to vote
  • URL Slugs
  • Authentication
  • Custom time zone display
  • Admin roles
