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.
