Speek

Personal Project – https://speek-rails.herokuapp.com/

Speek is the name of the project I decided to undertake for my Flatiron School Ruby on Rails final. Speek is a social network that resembles Twitter in some ways, but features longer form posts and user created communities.

Features

  • User profiles with avatars and custom header images.
  • User created communities with roles.
  • Private messaging.
  • Follow and get followed by users.
  • Activity feed to see what people you follow are up to.
  • Posts are formatable in Markdown syntax.
  • Signup via Google/Omniauth.
  • Built with Material Design Bootstrap.
  • And more!

I spent a lot of hours working on this project, especially given the extra time we had due to the holiday break.
