w8d3 - MVP! MVP! MVP!
It was officially Day 2 of Final Projects, and I would say today went pretty smoothly for me. I was able to add in a few new features: a properly working timeline that shows all of the posts from the current user and the posts from users they follow, the ability to reply to posts, the ability to repost, and the ability to search for users. I also started working on some CSS in order to give myself some visual feedback for designing my Rails Views. I may have gotten a little carried away, but I can definitely say it looks much better than yesterday’s version.
At this point, the project is beyond my initial estimation of the MVP, but I would like to add a couple more features and refactor a bit before attempting to layer in Backbone. I’m looking forward to adding Backbone, but I don’t know it nearly as well as Rails, so it will be a challenge not breaking everything. I have also been regularly pushing to Heroku, so if anyone wants to try out the (very much under construction) production version, be my guest!
