🐥 Chitter

Makers Academy Bootcamp | Week 4 Weekend Challenge

The requirement for this end of week challenge was to build a small Twitter clone that allows the users to post messages to a public stream.

User Stories

IMPLEMENTED

As a user
I want to post a message (peep) to chitter
So that I can let people know what I am doing  

As a user
I want to see the time at which it was made
So that I can better appreciate the context of a peep

As a user
I want to see all peeps in reverse chronological order
So that I can see what others are saying  

As a user
I want to sign up for Chitter
So that I can post messages on Chitter as me

As a user
I want to log in to Chitter
So that only I can post messages on Chitter as me

As a user
I want to log out of Chitter
So that I can avoid others posting messages on Chitter as me

Edge cases also covered: 
- user can't sign up if already in session
- user can't log in if already logged in
- user can't log in without the correct password
- user can't signup/log in without correct format and values for username, email and password
- error messages display using flash for a better UX
- passwords are encrypted with Bcrypt
- user can only add peep if logged in
- add peeps page is not accessible unless a user is in session
