Check out our app on Heroku! http://colorcoder.herokuapp.com/
This app allows visitors to the site to see and search all the colors and reviews stored in our database, as entered by themselves or other users. Visitors can sign up for an account which will allow them to post and edit colors, and post and edit and reviews of their own. Users designated as "Admins" have the added ability to delete colors, reviews, and users.
For a more complete list of features, see "User Stories & Acceptance Criteria" below.
This project is built using Ruby on Rails and incorporates React.js components. It uses Devise for user authentication, RSpec and Capybara for testing, Sass for styling, and PostgreSQL for database management.
This section outlines some of user stories and acceptance criteria used to drive our development. For the purposes of these user stories, a visitor is an unauthenticated user (that is, a user who has not signed in); a user is an authenticated user (that is, a user who has signed up and signed in); and an admin is an authenticated user with admin privileges (that is, a user who has signed up, signed in, and been designated as an "admin").
