Acebook

Acebook is a Facebook clone we created during a 2 week-long engineering project at Makers Academy. This version of Acebook is a full-stack app created in the first week using Ruby on Rails, and tested with RSpec and Capybara. In the second week, we were required to divide the app into a Rails API and a React front-end.

Continuous Integration

How to deploy

Our process

• We used an agile product development process, working in two-day sprints beginning with a team planning session and ending with a team retrospective. We held stand-ups each morning to keep the whole team up to date on our progress.
• We used a card wall on waffle.io to keep track of our workflow. Tickets were generated from user stories, estimated, prioritised and assigned to team members.
• We prioritised good agile team-working and product delivery practices, and the achievement of group/individual learning goals, over quantity of features.
• The development of the app was test-driven using RSpec and Capybara.
