This Ruby on Rails application is a simple blogging platform that allows users to create, read, update, and delete articles. It features user authentication, article privacy settings, and the ability for users to comment on articles.
- User Authentication: Users can sign up, log in, and log out. Devise gem is used for authentication.
- Article Management: Authenticated users can create new articles, edit their articles, and delete them. Each article has a title, content, and a privacy setting.
- Privacy Settings: Articles can be marked as private or public. Private articles are only visible to the user who created them.
