MicroBlog Demo

Prototyping a commercial, scaleable Rails application and all that entails (authentication, authorization, admin, APIs, etc.)

What does it do?

Current features include:

• BDD using Cucumber and RSpec
• Deployment to Heroku with git and a VPS with Capybara
• Multi-provider authentication using Devise and OmniAuth.
• Authorization using CanCan and Rolify.
• An admin interface using ActiveAdmin.
• A RESTful API.

For a complete overview of the plans and current status of the project, see the roadmap on the wiki.
