This entire week has been a blast to work with Rails. I’ve been spending most of my evening’s working on the Twitter Clone project which was started last week. I continued working on the assigned project all throughout the weekend and made a decent amount of progress.

At the top you can see my landing page and below it is Twitter 2016’s landing page.

I’m very happy with what I have done so far. I worked on this project the entire week and am nearing what I think would be Minimum Viable Product which was talked about last week.

Below is a list of the work completed this week on my Twitter Clone project:
Setup Modeling for Tweets
Displayed Tweets
Setup Tweet Form with Form Helpers
Styled the Navigation Bar
Created a Landing Page
Styled the Home Page, Profile Page & Explore Page
Worked on Trends & About Sidebars
Setup Controllers, Forms, Database Modifications for Followers/Following
Finished the Landing Page Forms & Polished GUI
Added Documentation
Added Hyperlinks to Tweets & Fixed Related Bug
Added Carrierwave & PG Gem
Readied for Heroku Deployment
Deployed to Heroku

The Profile page for my Twitter Clone…

Still to be completed:
Setup CarrierWave Gem for file uploading
Update the Database for added Profile Features
Get the top right Tweet button functional
Update the Edit Profile for added features
Possibly setup direct messages between Users

Many of the basic features of Twitter work but at this time I still have a few thing’s needed to be finished. Most importantly of those is setting up the CarrierWave Gem for File uploading. Once that is done I will be able to setup dynamic profile banner’s & avatar’s.

Heroku Link to Tweeter — Work in Progress

This weekend I will be studying Rail’s & working on this project some more.
