This repo holds the ruby on rails capstone project inspired by microverse.org & creativecommons.
Capstone projects are solo projects at the end of each of the Microverse Main Technical Curriculum sections. They are meant to give the author the knowledge & real-world working experience through the business specifications which are included in the project requirements. The capstone project is a way of assessing the author's abilities to work with technologies that they acquired under a certain section of the Main Technical Curriculum ( Ruby on Rails in this case ).
This application is based on lifestyle articles website. I developed it following the creativecommons design. The main goal was to come up with an application that looks as the one in the design. As an optional requirement, I personalized the content to build an application ( Siblife ) which is a site where consumers can post, vote & read on articles. The app is a desktop application, it does not resize perfectly on small screens. Users can create accounts to vote & write articles or readmore about a certain article.
To sign up, users are required to use their name, which they will also use for signing in. It's not in the requirements of the project, but I had to add more fields on the signup/signin pages for better presentation & style. To view the app, visit the link below under the Live Demo section & play with it.
