This Ruby on Rails application is a simple blogging platform that allows users to create, read, update, and delete articles. It features user authentication, article privacy settings, and the ability for users to comment on articles.

• User Authentication: Users can sign up, log in, and log out. Devise gem is used for authentication.
• Article Management: Authenticated users can create new articles, edit their articles, and delete them. Each article has a title, content, and a privacy setting.
• Privacy Settings: Articles can be marked as private or public. Private articles are only visible to the user who created them.
• Comments: Users can comment on articles. Each comment displays the email of the author, the comment body, and the timestamp of creation. Users can only edit or delete their own comments.
