Bible Talks social web app built in rails with user registration and creation of talks(tweets)/follow/unfollow users.

In this project, we were required to build a social app where users can sign-up/sign-in/sign out, create talks(tweets), and follow/unfollow other users. The project enforced our skills in using most of the core functionalities of the Rails framework.
The app is mobile responsive and users can sign up/sign in with their Github and Twitter accounts. Users can upload a profile and cover images at the sign-up or after they sign in by accessing the profile page, here they can also edit their username and full name.
The app is tested using RSpec for unit and integration tests

App functionality

• Users can sign up/sign in/sign out by filling out the forms or using their Github or Twitter account
• Users can create talks (tweets)
• Users can upload a profile and cover images when they sign up, otherwise they will have default placeholders
• Users can edit their profile username, full name and images
• Users can follow and unfollow other users
• Users can see who he is following and who are following other users
• The app is fully mobile responsive and uploads the user images to AWS S3 with Active Storage
